The objective is about »using *system tools* for backup«. Cpio is in various ways superior to tar for doing that, so claiming that »cpio is NOT a backup tool« is ludicrous. If tar is a backup tool then cpio is a backup tool ten times over. I could agree with the idea that the basic mechanics of cpio, like those of tar, are part of LPIC-1 and should not be rehashed in LPIC-2. We could clarify that this objective requires awareness that cpio (like tar) can be profitably used to make certain kinds of backups, and does not reiterate knowledge of how cpio is actually used in detail. I don't think cpio should be made to disappear outright from a directive that stipulates »system tools«. Anselm -- Anselm Lingnau ... Linup Front GmbH ...
