An administrator has a cpio archive that was created with: find /var/log -name '*.log' | cpio -o > /backup/logs.cpio. To restore only the file /var/log/syslog from the archive, which command should be used?

cpio -o /var/log/syslog < /backup/logs.cpio

cpio -t /var/log/syslog < /backup/logs.cpio

cpio -i -d /var/log/syslog < /backup/logs.cpio

An administrator needs to create a compressed backup of /var/www and verify its integrity by listing the contents without extracting. Which command accomplishes both tasks?

tar -xzf /backup/www.tar.gz -C /var/www

tar -cjf /backup/www.tar.bz2 /var/www && tar -tjf /backup/www.tar.bz2

tar -cvf /backup/www.tar /var/www && tar -tvf /backup/www.tar

tar -czf /backup/www.tar.gz /var/www && tar -tzf /backup/www.tar.gz
