Hello Madhu,
I am not sure how your posting is relevant to this mailing
list. Most of your questions seem to have to do with OS
permissions and storing/restoring files.
You can store the necessary details in a database, but the
actual logic for managing the files themselves will have
to be done using e.g. the os module.
You might also want to look at a configuration system such as
Ansible or SaltStack for managing your systems.
Thanks,
--
