python备份目录下文件夹_备份/复制分批或Python的整个文件夹树？

I'm trying to copy an entire directory from one locations to another via python every 7 days to essentially make a backup...

The backup folder/tree folder may or may not exist so it needs to create the folder if it doesn't exist, that's why I assumed distutils is better suited over shutil

Note Is it better for me to use batch or some other language for the said job?

The following code:

import distutils

distutils.dir_util.copy_tree("C:\Users\A\Desktop\Test", "C:\Users\A\Desktop\test_new", preserve_mode=1, preserve_times=1, preserve_symlinks=0, update=1, verbose=0, dry_run=0)

Returns:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\A\Desktop\test.py", line 2, in

distutils.dir_util.copy_tree("C:\Users\A\Desktop\test", "C:\Users\A\Desktop\test2", preserve_mode=1, preserve_times=1, preserve_symlinks=0, update=1, verbose=0, dry_run=0)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'dir_util'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

For Unix/Linux, I suggest 'rsync'.

For windows: xcopy
