Question

14. Close the terminal, and open a new terminal session.
15. Create a new directory ~/backups
16. Accomplish the following steps by typing on the command line within a period of a couple minutes so the timestamps will be similar:

• Navigate to ~/backups
• ls ~/Documents
• Run your doc-backup script.
• tar -tf <your tar file> to see the contents. (If this produces a large amount of output, be sure you cut it down to a few lines in the terminal capture later.)
• Run doc-backup a second time.
• cat ~/scripts/doc-backup to show your script code
• Execute the date +%y%m%d-%s command to get a timestamp on the command line.

Answer 1

Python Code :

import os
import tarfile
path = '../Documents'
fileName = 'backup1.tar.gz'
with tarfile.open(fileName, "w:gz") as h:
   for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
       for file in files:
           h.add(os.path.join(root, file))
