You could probably whip one up very easily using the tarfile module [http://docs.python.org/lib/module-tarfile.html] and shutil.move() [http://docs.python.org/lib/module-shutil.html]. Just make a new TarFile of the directory, save it, then replace any previous backup file using shutil.move() Good luck, and have fun! Regards, Chris P.S. And if you're on *nix, you might consider just using a shell script and the 'tar' command. Right tool for the right job and all that. -- Follow the path of the Iguana... http://rebertia.com > > > Thanks and regards, > rajat > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
