# Implementing Backup Strategies

## Overview

Design and implement backup strategies for databases, file systems, and cloud resources using tools like `tar`, `rsync`, `pg_dump`, `mysqldump`, AWS S3, and cloud-native snapshot APIs. Covers full, incremental, and differential backup schemes with retention policies, encryption, and automated verification.

## Prerequisites

- `tar`, `rsync`, or `restic` installed for file-level backups
- Database client tools (`pg_dump`, `mysqldump`, `mongodump`) for database backups
- AWS CLI configured with S3 write permissions (or equivalent GCP/Azure storage access)
- Sufficient storage capacity at backup destination (local, NFS, or object storage)
- Cron or systemd timer access for scheduling automated backups
- GPG or OpenSSL for backup encryption at rest
