1.1.3 Performing backups
1.1.3 执行备份
Performing backups is perhaps the most important job of the system administrator, and it is also the job that is most often ignored or sloppily done. Backups are time consuming and boring, but they are absolutely necessary. Backups can be automated and delegated to an underling, but it is still the system administrator’s job to make sure that backups are executed correctly and on schedule (and that the resulting media can actually be used to restore files).
执行备份可能是系统管理员最重要的工作了这也是经常被忽视或者不经心去做的工作。备份工作耗时且单调但又绝对必要。备份可以自动进行且能授权给下属去做但系统管理员仍然要确保备份工作在按时正解进行备份介质确实可以恢复出原文件来。

1.1.4 Installing and upgrading software
1.1.4 安装和软件更新
When new software is acquired, it must be installed and tested, often under several operating systems and on several types of hardware. Once the software is working correctly, users must be informed of its availability and location. As patches and security updates are released, they must be incorporated smoothly into the local environment.
在获得新软件以后必须安装并测试它而且经常要在几种类型的操作系统和硬件下进行安装和测试。一旦软件能够正常工作还要告诉用户这个软件的位置。在补丁和安全升级发布出来的同时也必须平稳地将它融入到本地环境里。
Local software and administrative scripts should be properly packaged and managed in a fashion that’s compatible with the native upgrade procedures used on systems at your site. As this software evolves, new releases should be staged for testing before being deployed to the entire site.

1.1.5 Monitoring the system
1.1.5 监视系统
Large installations require vigilant supervision. Don’t expect users to report problems to you unless the issues are severe. Working around a problem is usually faster than taking the time to document and report it, so users often follow the path of least resistance.
大型的部署环境需要时刻进行监视。除非事态严重否则不要指望用户向系统管理员报告问题。比起花时间写说明报告问题绕过问题通常要快得多所以用户往往怎么省事怎么来。
Regularly ensure that email and web services are working correctly, watch log files for early signs of trouble, make sure that local networks are properly connected, and keep an eye on the availability of system resources such as disk space. All of these chores are excellent opportunities for automation, and a variety of off-theshelf monitoring systems can help sysadmins with this task.

1.1.7 Maintaining local documentation
1.1.7 维护本地文档
As a system is changed to suit an organization’s needs, it begins to differ from the plain-vanilla system described by the documentation. Since the system administrator is responsible for making these customizations, it’s also the sysadmin’s duty to document the changes. This chore includes documenting where cables are run and how they are constructed, keeping maintenance records for all hardware, recording the status of backups, and documenting local procedures and policies.
系统为适合单位的需要而逐渐改造随着改造的进行该系统便开始变得和文档当初所描述的那个基本系统不一样。既然系统管理员负责做这些定制工作那么写文档讲清楚变化也是管理员的职责。这项职责包括把电缆的走线位置、电缆连接方式等信息写入文档保留所有硬件的维护记录记录备份的状态编写本地处理过程和策略的文档等。

suit 适合使适应

1.1.8 Vigilantly monitoring security
1.1.8 时刻警惕系统安全
The system administrator must implement a security policy and periodically check to be sure that the security of the system has not been violated.

1.1.9 Fire fighting
1.1.9 救火
Although helping users with their various problems is rarely included in a system
administrator’s job description, it claims a significant portion of most administrators’ workdays. System administrators are bombarded with problems ranging
from “It worked yesterday and now it doesn’t! What did you change?” to “I spilled coffee on my keyboard! Should I pour water on it to wash it out?”
尽管在系统管理员工作的规定范围之内很少会包括帮助用户解决各种问题但对于大多数系统管理员而主这通常占据了他们日常工作的很大一部分。系统管理员往往遭到形形×××问题的狂轰滥炸问题从“我的程序昨天正常工作了今天却不干活了您改变了什么”到“我把咖啡洒到键盘上了我应该把水倒到键盘上洗掉咖啡么”
In most cases, your response to these issues affects your perceived value as an
administrator far more than does any actual technical skill you might possess. You
can either howl at the injustice of it all, or you can delight in the fact that a single well-handled trouble ticket scores as many brownie points as five hours of midnight debugging. You pick!
在大部分情况下系统管理员对这些事情的响应要比他可能具备的任何实际技术技能更能够让人感觉到他作为一个系统管理员的价值所在。要么对此愤愤不平要么就欣然接受这样的事实深更半夜花5个小时调试问题和妥善处理一张故障工单相比在绩效评定上都一样。
