All applicants should submit their resume, up to date references, as well as their solution to the following scenario:
Assume that you have a MySQL database running on localhost, which we want to keep backups for, mirrored both locally and on a remote server, "mirror.example.com". We want to make one backup daily, and store the last seven backups created. Assume that there is sufficient disk space to store these backups. Please describe from beginning-to-end how you would do this, including in your description any scripts that you would write, any applications or daemons that you would make use of, any administrative tasks involved (e.g. creating user accounts), and any security assumptions or decisions that would inform your design. Assume you are root on both servers: you may do anything you wish to setup this task (so long as it's documented!). Note: The "mysqldump" command (don't worry about any arguments to it) will suffice for making a backup. It will print the backup to STDOUT.
