Hi, I have completed the task as per the instructions but won’t complete successfully.
I have tried previous recommended solutions to no attempt.

Please support to check what I’m missing. Thanks

Your answer looks a little weird, as if you initially used different names for some of your items. I tried the lab, and it worked:

[tony@stapp01 ~]$ /scripts/media_archive.sh 
  adding: var/www/html/media/ (stored 0%)
  adding: var/www/html/media/index.html (stored 0%)
  adding: var/www/html/media/.gitkeep (stored 0%)
xfusioncorp_media.zip                    100%  595     1.8MB/s   00:00    
[tony@stapp01 ~]$ ssh 'natasha@ststor01'
Last login: Sun May 24 20:16:29 2026 from 10.244.164.11
[natasha@ststor01 ~]$ ls -l /archives/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 natasha natasha 595 May 24 20:18 xfusioncorp_media.zip
[natasha@ststor01 ~]$ 
logout
Connection to ststor01 closed.
[tony@stapp01 ~]$ cat /scripts/media_archive.sh 
# /bin/sh
zip -r /archives/xfusioncorp_media.zip /var/www/html/media
scp /archives/xfusioncorp_media.zip natasha@ststor01:/archives/

The names are slightly different (we randomize these), but it does work.

hi refer to this solution

github.com

MiqdadProjects/kodekloud-eng-100-days-devops/blob/main/DAY10/task-10-ecommerce-backup-script.md

**🌟 Task 10 - Create Bash Script for Website Backup**

**📌 Task Description**

The production support team of **xFusionCorp Industries** needs a bash script `ecommerce_backup.sh` on **App Server 1** in **Stratos Datacenter** to automate the following tasks:

a. Create a zip archive named `xfusioncorp_ecommerce.zip` of the `/var/www/html/ecommerce` directory
b. Save the archive in `/backup/` on **App Server 1** (temporary storage, cleaned weekly)
c. Copy the archive to **Nautilus Backup Server** (`stbkp01`) in `/backup/` location
d. Ensure the script does not ask for a password while copying, and the relevant server user (e.g., `tony`) can run it
e. Do not use `sudo` inside the script

👉 **Your task:** Create an automated backup script that zips the ecommerce directory and copies it to the backup server without manual intervention.

💡 **Note:** The `zip` package must be installed manually on the server before running the script.

Thanks this works.

I was creating the zip manually, seems it should be included in the script as well
