This is a readme file to the second task:
Implement a program that synchronizes two folders: source and replica. The program should maintain a full, identical copy of destination folder at replica folder.
Requirements:
• Synchronization must be one-way: after the synchronization content of the replica folder should be modified to exactly match content of the source folder;
• Synchronization should be performed periodically;
• File creation/copying/removal operations should be logged to a file and to the console output;
• Folder paths, synchronization interval and log file path should be provided using the command line arguments.
To provide main file path, synchronization interval and log file path use the command line arguments.
- first argument is the main file name;
- second argument is the synchronization interval;
- third argument is the log file path.
For example, to run the program, paste into the command line:
cd <path_to_task2_folder>
python main.py 60 logs.txt
where:
- main.py - main file
- 60 - the synchronization interval (in seconds)
- logs.txt - file with the backup history
