Java Noob learning Unix: backup commands

I am trying to learn some unix here and i have some question that i would like to ask:

What's the most basic backup command?
What is the command to pause a backup?
What is the command to resume backup?

Can we backup a job that is running ?
How can we pause the backup of the job and than resume it ?


Thank you very much.
