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.
