In a Linux environment, managing system backups efficiently is essential for ensuring data integrity and disaster recovery. This blog walks you through creating and restoring full, incremental, and differential backups using the dump and restore commands. These commands allow you to manage filesystem-level backups, offering a robust solution for periodic data protection.
- Partition Creation and Mounting (Not mandatory)
- Full Backup with
dump - Incremental Backups
- Differential Backup
- File Restoration
Before proceeding with backup operations, we need a dedicated partition to simulate a data backup scenario.
Note: Skip this step for you already have partition need to backup.
fdisk /dev/sda
Create a new partition:
n(create a new partition)
