Hello DevOps enthusiasts!

Welcome to Day 5 of the #90DaysOfDevOpsChallenge. Today, we will dive into two important topics - User Management in Linux and how to create a powerful script for automated backups.

1. User Management in Linux: In a Linux operating system, users play a crucial role in managing files and performing various operations. Each user is assigned a unique ID, and the root user, with ID 0, holds administrative privileges. In this blog post, we'll explore commands to retrieve user information and create new users.

2. Create 2 Users and Display Usernames: To create new users and display their

   usernames

   

3. With a bash script, we can dynamically create any number of directories with custom names. For instance, running ./createDirectories.sh day 1 90 will create 90 directories named day1, day2, day3, and so on. Additionally, ./createDirectories.sh Movie 20 50 will generate 50 directories with names like Movie20, Movie21, and Movie50.

   

   

   

4. Automated Backups with Cron and Crontab: As a DevOps Engineer, backups are crucial for maintaining data integrity. We'll explore the power of Cron, the main scheduler in Linux, to automate backup scripts. With a crontab file, you can schedule tasks to run unattended at specified intervals, ensuring your hard work is backed up regularly.
