Lo All, Firstly, most will probably see this as a duplicate post, but it has a unique element: tar... Ive posted this code a few times now, and many have assisted. However, Ive modified the code to add the date to the filename. Unfortunately, the output just does not change... And the code is:
import time
import datetime
import os
import json
import tarfile
source_config='/myapp/brendan.json'
backup_dir = '/myapp/target/'
DATE_FORMAT = '%Y%m%d'
now = time.strftime(DATE_FORMAT)
timestr_now = time.strftime('%Y%m%d')
def main():
print timestr_now
with open(source_config) as f:
data = json.load(f)
for entry in data["source_include"]:
base_filename = os.path.basename(entry)
#source_dirs = [ name for name in os.listdir(entry) if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(entry, name)) ]
full_dir = os.path.join(entry)
testname = (timestr_now, backup_dir, base_filename)
date_name = str(timestr_now + "_" + base_filename)
tar = tarfile.open(os.path.join(backup_dir, date_name + '.tar.gzip'), 'w:gz')
tar.add(full_dir)
tar.close()
and the JSON:
{
"source_type": "folder",
"tar_type": "gzip",
"tar_max_age": "10",
"source_include": ["/myapp/conf/",
"/myapp/db/",
"/myapp/randomdata/"],
"target_path": "/myapp/target/",
"del_age": "10"
}
Please note that the additional options in the JSON WILL be used at a later date.
So, when I run this code, it returns the date: 20131206 (in the console), which is expected as a result of the print timestr line. However, the resultant tars are named conf.tar.gzip and db.tar.gzip... instead of the expected 20131206conf.tar.gzip... Any idea what the hell Im doing wrong here?
