To mirror the website files on the primary web server, www1, to the backup web server, www2, the administrator can use the command rsync -a -e ssh /var/www/html/ user1@www2:/var/www/html (A). This will synchronize all files and directories under /var/www/html/ on www1 to /var/www/html on www2 using ssh as the remote shell. The -a option will preserve all attributes and permissions of the files. The other commands will not mirror the website files, but either copy them once, download them from a web server, or archive them. References:

The command that would allow a user to choose a stronger password and set it on the existing SSH key file is ssh-keygen -p -f . This command uses the ssh-keygen tool, which is used to generate, manage, and convert authentication keys for SSH. The -p option stands for passphrase, and it allows the user to change or remove the passphrase of an existing private key file. The -f option specifies the filename of the key file. The command will prompt the user for the old passphrase, and then for the new passphrase twice.

The other options are not correct commands for changing the password of an SSH key file. The passwd command is used to change the password of a user account on a Linux system, not an SSH key file. The ssh command is used to log in to a remote system using SSH, not to change the password of an SSH key file. The pwgen command is used to generate random passwords, not to change the password of an SSH key file.

This command will remove all containers, regardless of their state, by passing the IDs of all containers to the docker rm command. The docker ps -aq command will list the IDs of all containers, including the ones in an exited state, and the $ ( ) syntax will substitute the output of the command as an argument for the docker rm command. This is a quick and easy way to clean up all containers, but it may also remove containers that are still needed or running.

The command that can be used to check if a partition table is on a disk is fdisk. The fdisk command can display, create, delete, and modify partitions on a disk. To show the partition table of a disk, the administrator can use fdisk -l /dev/sdd (B). References:
