# Automate a backup with Bash

> **Attribution:** Scenario adapted from [90DaysOfDevOps](https://github.com/MichaelCade/90DaysOfDevOps) Linux/automation topics (Michael Cade, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Rewritten as an interactive PlatformForge exercise.

90Days spends early days building shell confidence. Platform teams turn that into tiny scripts that make recovery repeatable.

## Tasks

1. Write executable `/workspace/bin/backup.sh`
2. Archive `/workspace/data` to `/workspace/backup.tar.gz`
3. Write `OK` to `/workspace/backup.status`
4. Run the script successfully
