Create a Clean Backup Archive

easy 10 XP ~5 minHands-on lab

Before a risky migration you want a backup of the docs-site project, but the build leaves large temporary files around that should never be archived.

Task

Create the gzip-compressed archive /home/student/backups/docs-site.tar.gz that:

contains the directory /srv/lab/projects/docs-site, stored as docs-site/... (relative paths, no leading srv/lab/projects)
includes every file except files ending in .tmp
is a valid gzip-compressed tar archive

Do not modify or delete anything in the project directory.
