Hi Ingo,
And so I learn yet another awesome open source tool. I will have a
closer look at Restic soon! Thanks!
I think for LPI it makes sense to require knowledge of the most popular
backup tools.
When I enter the terms 'rclone', 'restic' and 'borgbackup' in Google
trends to see what has had the larger search volume world wide over the
last 5 years, in my case I see rclone coming out on top.
I don't care what tool gets in the objectives, I just want it to be a
"household" name. Unless there are of course very good arguments against
some tool (like license, outdated, ethical standards, etc).
Usually there are good reasons for why a tool is popular, sometimes only
because it's the de facto standard.
Just my 2 cents of course.

Hi Jeroen,
and then, I prefer restic in many cases. It was written to solve some
shortcomings of borg.
But still I think, borgbackup is a good and widespread choice for LPI.
What bothers me, is the timing: borg 2.0 is around and will be a major
“breaking” release that is not compatible with existing repos. command
line syntax was changed.
Regards,
Ingo

Why? It's completely open source. It supports encryption of data so
it is secure.
Yes, it also supports closed source backends like the ones you
mention, but also every existing open ones like NFS and local file
storage.
It is, imho, a very good backup tool.

May I suggest to add rclone to the list of backup tools?
I don't think it's a good idea. IMHO, rclone is related to many
services
like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. where isn't the ideal solution to
create a proper backup.

Hi,
here are my 2 cents:
https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-2_Objectives_V5.0#Objectives:_Exam_201
<https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-2_Objectives_V5.0#Objectives:_Exam_201>
201.1
remove rmmod, insmod because modprobe can do better
remove udevmonitor - udevadm monitor can do
201.3
remove GRUB Legacy
Since master boot record is covered, also take GPT.
202.1
remove this topic completely, because it is covered in
LPIC-1 already (except automount).
203.1
partition type 0xFD
are partition types still relevant and why?
204.1
remove iwconfig and iwlist, outdated
204.2
remove nmtui, because nmcli should do
204.3
is /etc/HOSTNAME still in use?
205.1
remove compression tools as well as tar, because
handled in LPIC-1 already
205.2
remove rsync, no state of the art backup solution anymore
remove Bacula, Bareos and BackupPC I suggest
to take borgbackup instead
remove references to magnetic tapes
remove dd covered in LPIC-1 already
205.3
remove htop, top is more difficult to learn but covers
much more
iptraf is the (almost) only tool mentioned to measure
network performance, are there other or even better tools?
netstat is deprecated
Best regards,
Werner
