→Performing Full Backups
It is recommended to create a Bash shell script to automate the backing up of ALL your VMs in sequence. You can do this by running a for loop using a list for vm1, vm2, and vm3 image file pathnames.
<ol><li value="5">Create the sub-directory '''/root/bin/'''</li>
<li>You should know how to create full backups of your VMs in your OPS235 course. Create a Bash shell script called:<br>'''/root/bin/fullbackup.bash''' that will backup all of your other vms (i.e. vm1, vm2, and vm3) one at a time using the '''gzip''' command to your host machine into the directory path-name: '''/backup/full/'''</li>
<li>Set execute permissions, and run the shell script to verify that you shell script works.</li>
