OBJECTIVE

Prove that a backup can actually restore a working practice directory.

TIME PLAN

Prepare 20m · Build 110m · Verify 30m · Document 20m

Working boundary

Work only inside the folder created by Smartphone-Academy.py prepare backup-recovery. Use the supplied samples or systems you personally administer.

Prepare the Termux workspace

Open Termux in the Academy root and prepare this lab with the local companion. It creates safe samples, notes and evidence files under your Termux account.

Android + Termuxpython Smartphone-Academy.py prepare backup-recoveryNo root. Use the supplied files and keep the workspace under $HOME.

Practical mission

  1. Create a versioned backup of the practice workspace
  2. Delete only a disposable working copy
  3. Restore to a separate recovery directory
  4. Compare file count, hashes and expected permissions
EVIDENCE TO PRODUCE

A recovery record with backup time, restore steps, hash comparison and lessons learned.

Quality gate

The deliverable states a clear scope and date for Test Backup and Recovery.
A second learner can reproduce the commands and paths.
Original samples remain unchanged and verifiable.
Limitations are recorded beside the conclusions.

Analyst reflection

Which result from “Compare file count, hashes and expected permissions” would need more evidence before it could support an operational decision?

Complete in Termux

After checking the evidence, run python Smartphone-Academy.py complete backup-recovery. Progress is stored locally in the Termux home directory.
