Create backup archive with

To create a gzip-compressed archive using find, cpio, and gzip, you can use the following command:

find . | cpio -o | gzip > archive.cpio.gz

Explanation:
    1.  find .: Lists all files and directories starting from the current directory (.).
    2.  cpio -o: Takes the list of files from find and creates an archive in the cpio format (-o means “create archive”).
    3.  gzip: Compresses the cpio archive.
    4.  >: Redirects the compressed data to a file named archive.cpio.gz.

To extract the archive:

gunzip -c archive.cpio.gz | cpio -id

    • gunzip -c: Decompresses the file but writes the output to stdout.
    • cpio -id: Extracts files from the archive. (-i means “extract”, and -d creates directories as needed).
