# back up files and dir to a time format tgz file.

import os
import time
source=['/home/zhouhh/test/','/home/zhouhh/test1/']
print ' backup files:',source
target_dir='/home/zhouhh/backup/'
target=target_dir+time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')+'.tar.gz'
cmd='tar -zcvf %s %s '%(target,' '.join(source))
if os.system(cmd)==0 :
print 'successfull backup to ',target
else:
print 'failed backup'
可以将这个脚本加入crontab中,定期备份文件。如需要备份到windows,需要先mount windows分区,然后将目标地址修改为mount到的分区目录。
