File Compression and Archiving in Red Hat Linux
Welcome to Day 9 of the 30 Days of Linux Challenge. Today’s focus is on something every system administrator or DevOps engineer needs: compressing and archiving files efficiently using the terminal in Red Hat-based systems (RHEL, CentOS, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux). Why? Because whether you're backing up logs, preparing files for transfer, or reducing storage space, file compression is a must-have skill — and Red Hat provides a full suite of powerful CLI tools to do just that.
