Backup and Recovery Automation

Goal: Create an automated backup and recovery system using tar and cronjob.

Requirements:

1. Set up a Docker container with a directory containing mock data files.

2. Write a script to compress the data using tar and store it in a backup directory.

3. Schedule the script to run automatically using a cronjob.

4. Create a recovery script to extract the backup and restore the files to their original location.

5. Log all backup and recovery actions for later review.
