Hi, You can try one of the following commands: 1) tar 2) cpio 3) dd Do a "man" of the command to get the usage syntax and options from the online man pages (e.g. "man tar") Hope this helps. - Ramki.
Unix commands
Commands you use in a Unix based computer OS to achieve certain things. Similar to MS/DOS commands in Windows. Mostly used in computers running the Linux OS. unix command
The lp and lpr commands are the traditional commands used to print jobs on UNIX.
It would take a very long time to learn all of the Unix commands, and frankly, that isn't necessary. Most Unix users have a subset of commands they use all the time, and that is how they learn them.
A script may contain any commands that process a certain sequence of instructions. For backups you would include any or all commands to create backup files or archive files of what needs to be backed up. From the backup copy or archive copy you can transfer the information to a secondary media type. For that purpose you would need the commands to copy the information from one media to another. Writing a shell script to do anything is simple as long as you know what commands you intend to execute and the sequence. Backups are not any more complicated than running individual commands to do something.
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
There are no standardized commands for backing up a Linux system. Backup methods can range from dd to RAID to one of various backup utilities.
Man (or manual) pages
Unix files do not rely on extensions, therefore there is no command to find them.
There is none. For starters, you have it backwards, DOS actually copied most of its commands from Unix (The rest came from CP/M.), which Linux is inspired by. Commands like "cd" and "dir" were Unix commands long before DOS even existed.
Most of MS-DOS' commands were based on those of Unix and CP/M. 'cd', 'dir', 'clear', and 'echo' are usually found in both. MS-DOS added it's own commands, however, and made some different from those of existing versions of Unix, and no one saw any reason to change the names of existing ones in Unix.
