Earlier in the course, you learned about Services. An often neglected but critical service is
running backups. This project serves as a first step towards creating and then automating the
backup process in both the Windows and Linux environments.
This project is in two parts, each worth 100 points – the first part requires that you use an
existing installations of Windows Server in Cybrscore to complete #1 and #2 below. You will
include a reflective paper of at least 2 pages in current APA format that details the
configurations, challenges, and solutions to complete full and incremental backups using
PowerShell in Windows Server. You will not need to, nor should you, install Windows Backup
for this portion.
The second part will have you complete an auto-scored Cybrscore lab titled “Introduction to
Linux: Backing up, Compression and Scheduling”. The instructions for that lab are in Cybrscore:
1) In the Windows server environment, you will create two separate scripts within
PowerShell that will perform two types of backups of a given source directory and store
the backed up files in a given target directory (preferably on a separate drive). The first
script will perform a full backup and the second script will perform an incremental
backup on the remaining days of the week. Lastly, using the Microsoft Management
Console Task Scheduler, you will set up a schedule for the first script (the full backup
script) to run on Sundays and Wednesdays and a schedule for the second script (the
incremental backup script) to run on the remaining days of the week.
2) Provide three pieces of evidence showing that your scripts were successful: 1) a copy of
your scripts; 2) clear screenshots of the Task Scheduler interface showing the correctly
scheduled tasks; and 3) results of the backup processes (specifically the files in both the
source and target directories).
