what is the command/instructions to backup a file onto an external hard drive on a unix machine? thanks in advance.
Backing up files using Unix?
if the username of the computer is Maicia, and your external hard drive mounts at media/usbdrive then you would enter into terminal:
rsync -av /home/Maicia /media/usbdrive
Reply:if you want to compress the file and backup to an external disk
use tar or jar to do this
man tar
man jar
