Backup
Creates a backup folder of a selected folder. It only supports Windows for the time being.
The program will ask for a source folder and will copy it to \Documents\Backups on the current user that is logged in.
For example
"Documents\Projects" will copy the folder C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Projects
to C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Backups\
The files being copied over will be put in their own folder called "Backup YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS"
to prevent the mixing of files as well as timestamp the backup.
When prompted for the source folder, type:
- exit
- to terminate the program
- here
- to backup the directory the Backups.py file is currently in
- <filepath>
- C:\Users\<username> is included for you. See example above.
Update:
When being from command prompt the user can now specify a folder to copy immediately.
Ex. >Backups.py Documents\Important
This will not prompt the user for further input and will proceed to create a backup of the
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Important folder.
