Flexible Backup Script - Fallen - 11-24-2009 So yeah, if anyone knows me; you know I screw stuff up.... a lot. Considering this, I felt it necessary to make some sort of script to backup all my important configuration files to help counter act my stupidity (Its working quite well). It will basically take a dictionary of glob patterns to search, and what sub directory the files should be put under (GlobPatterns) for example, Anope services has many .db files; so by doing "/anope/*.db" : "Anope_Configs" the script will search for all files that match the pattern *.db in the folder /anope/ and copy them to a sub directory, in this case Anope_Configs (Plus the date), in your specified Main Backup folder (All folders will be created if they do not already exist). Say /anope/ holds 4 files a.db b.db readme.txt Anope.txt the script will grab both a.db and b.db, it will create the folder "/home/Backups" then create the folder "Anope_Configs:11:24:2009:16" in "/home/Backups" and copy the files over into "Anope_Configs:11:24:2009:16". It will then repeat for any other key/value pairs in the dictionary I know I butchered the explanation but it is really worth checking out Code: #!/usr/bin/env python RE: Flexible Backup Script - Nyx- - 11-24-2009 Wow really nice hehe, I wish I could come up with useful stuff like this, rather then xchat scripts lol i gots no imagination RE: Flexible Backup Script - manipulate - 11-26-2009 I mean you could just get Anope to use MySQL for more awesomeness but whatever, nice. RE: Flexible Backup Script - Gaijin - 11-26-2009 Man you've inspired me! That a really a good snippet, Nice share and Thanks!
