Performing Backups and Restores on a Linux Host

You work as a Storage Administrator for a local print shop, and have been tasked with performing some backups and restores on your production server (server01) to a backup server (server02). First, you need to create a tar archive of the following directories using gzip compression: /home, /etc, /opt, /usr, /root, and /srv. The archive should be named full_bkp.tgz and should be located in /home/cloud_user. Then, you need to create a tar archive of the /var directory using bzip2 compression. The archive should be named var_bkp.tbz.

Next, you need to restore the /dev/xvdg device using the /home/cloud_user/xvdg.img image file. Once restored, create an image file of /dev/xvdf called xvdf.img.bz (using bzip2 compression). It should be located in /home/cloud_user. After the image file has been created, wipe the /dev/xvdf device of all data.

Finally, you need to sync the tar archives you have created, as well as the disk image, to /home/cloud_user/archive on server02. Then, you need to perform a sync of the following directories on sever01 to the /home/cloud_user/sync directory on server02: /home, /etc, /opt, /usr/local, /var/lib, /var/log, /root, and /srv.

Notes:

• All tasks except remote sync should be performed as the root user.
• Use cloud_user when performing a remote sync, as remote root login is disabled.
