Python is a great language because you can use it for web development (WSGI/Django/etc), game development, automation, systems administration, desktop apps and many other things. We will have more python scripts here on how we use it to run things. Keep in mind these are cross platform because we manage applications on all types of environments from Windows, to UNIX/Linux to OSX (same as *nix really).</p> <h2>How to Use</h2> <p>Use this script by scheduling it to run nightly or when you choose. Then make a folder under it called target or change the location in the script.</p> <p>The file that will export will be a complete sql dump and stamped like the following filename, it contains the zipped up database.sql file that is your backup:<br /> export-2009-02-03-Tuesday.zip</p> <p>If you need to change settings to get flat files or other read on mysqldump utility to pass the options you need, currently it backs up in SQL format.</p> <h2>The Script</h2> <div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="python" style="font-family:monospace;"><span style="color: #ff7700;font-weight:bold;">import</span> <span style="color: #dc143c;">os</span>, <span style="color: #dc143c;">time</span>, <span style="color: #dc143c;">sys</span>, <span style="color: #dc143c;">zipfile</span>, <span style="color: #dc143c;">datetime</span>,<span style="color: #dc143c;">calendar</span> <span style="color: #ff7700;font-weight:bold;">from</span> <span style="color: #dc143c;">os</span> <span style="color: #ff7700;font-weight:bold;">import</span> sep <span style="color: #808080; font-style: italic;"># Script Parameters</span> <span style="color: #808080; font-style: italic;"># Target Directory for final Zip files</span> target_dir = r<span style="color: #483d8b;">'target'</span> copy_dir = r<span style="color: #483d8b;">'copy'</span> <span style="color: #808080; font-style: italic;"># The name of the sql file (this will be the same for all backups)</span> file_name = <span style="color: #483d8b;">'databases.sql'</span> <span style="color: #808080; font-style: italic;"># Authentication</span> <span style="color: #dc143c;">user</span> = <span style="color: #483d8b;">'[YOUR USER]'</span> password = <span style="color: #483d8b;">'[YOUR PASSWORD]'</span> <span style="color: #808080; font-style: italic;"># The command for the mysql dump.
