This lab was about backing up a system using crontab. I learned how to create a script that backs up a user’s home directory by creating a tar file. I also created a crontab entry to schedule the task for a set amount of time using crontab -e, and removed scheduled jobs using crontab -r.

I found this lab easy, so there wasn’t anything I considered difficult. Overall, this lab helped me understand how to perform system backups using scheduling tools.
