Solution

The correct command to extract the contents of "archive.tar.gz" to a directory named "backup" is:

tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz -C backup

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the command:

  1. "tar" is the command that manipulates archives in Linux/Unix.

  2. "-xzvf" is a combination of options used with the tar command.

    • "x" stands for extract,
    • "z" is for dealing with gzipped files,
    • "v" is for verbose, which means it will list all the files being extracted,
    • "f" is to specify that we're providing the name of the archive file.

  3. "archive.tar.gz" is the name of the archive file you want to extract.

  4. "-C" is an option that tells tar to change to the directory before performing any operations.

  5. "backup" is the directory where you want to extract the files.

You will need to create the backup.sh file and give it the appropriate permission. The contents will need a shebang line and a tar command; you might like to add an echo to confirm that the script is running. The tar command can be modelled on those you used earlier. You will need to give the name of the directory to compress, and choose a sensible filename for the archive that is produced. Once the script is written, you should test that it runs and does what you wish.
