Congratulations, you've reached the end of this tutorial! Well, almost. We were unable to include a few topics in our first four tutorials due to space limitations. Fortunately, we have a couple of good resources that will help you get up to speed on these topics in no time. Be sure to cover these particular tutorials if you are planning to get your LPIC level 1 certification.

On the important topic of system backups, we refer you to an IBM developerWorks Linux zone tutorial on the subject called Backing up your Linux machines. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to back up Linux systems using a tar variant called star. You'll also learn how to use the mt command to control tape functions.

The second topic that we weren't quite able to fit in was periodic scheduling. Fortunately, there's a good cron and at tutorial over at thelinuxgurus.org. cron and at are used to schedule jobs to be executed at a specific time, and are important knowledge for any system administrator.

In the next panel, you'll find a number of resources that you will find helpful in learning more about the subjects presented in this tutorial.
