Hi, All

I need a tool. It can backup and zip certain files or partitions
in linux, and of course can support restoring. I have no idea which
parts should I pay attentions on while coding. Do I just use cp/mv
commands?

If that's what fits your needs. Also consider pax, tar, cpio,
rsync, scp, etc.

Not to mention find...

A very useful tool for discovering which files NEED to be backed up.
