How to Backup Linux Files

In this tutorial, we will teach you how to backup Linux files.
Backups basically come in handy when there is a system hardware failure. All your data is still intact, and you can continue on working without any sort of data loss.

For this tutorial, we will be primarily looking into Deja Dub.
