"SAGE discussion group" is a term that's rather more ambiguous than we
originally realized; we intended it to mean "group for the discussion
of SAGE". As it happens, there hasn't been much of that going on
lately. Starting off the discussion is certainly the way to go if you
want to see it happen.

Your particular questions aren't really appropriate to the
intended purpose of this list; they'd be better off somewhere like the
newsgroup "comp.unix.admin". However, a discussion of ways that SAGE
could help people find the right place to ask questions would be
appropriate. 

Here are some suggestions about your particular questions anyway: You
might want to check out the book "TCP/IP Network Administration" and
the newsgroup comp.protocols.tcp-ip. As far as I know "trace" is not a
standard network-related command, although "traceroute" is.  There are
lots and lots of ways to do backups, and the best references I know of
are actually papers of mine, which can be found for anonymous ftp on
ftp.erg.sri.com in pub/zwicky
