Scheduling a Systemd Service Job with Timer Units

During the time that your development team has spent working on the new web-based API for your organization, there have been several instances of mistaken keystrokes or processes that have necessitated the restoration of the site directory from backup.

You have been asked to run periodic backups of the website directory and, given that the development environment does not have access to the backup network, you have decided to write a custom service that will do so.

You have previously written the systemd unit files to back up the site. You have been provided a file called web-backup.sh in your /root directory (NOTE: you will need to become the root user to complete your work). Using that file and the associated web-backup.service, create a systemd timer unit file that will control the schedule of your service.

After you have all three components ready, stage the files in their appropriate locations and start the service for your team and turn it back over for their use.
