# Python Backup Script
This Python script performs backups of a specified directory to another location. It can be useful for creating regular backups of important data.
## Features
- **Backup Functionality:** Automatically copies files from a specified directory to a backup folder.
- **Exclude Directories:** Allows excluding specific directories from the backup process.
- **Logging:** Logs the start and completion of each backup operation.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.x
- `os` and `shutil` libraries (usually included in Python standard library)
### Installation
Install the module using:
- **Windows**:
- `pip install backupfolders`.
- **MacOs**:
- `pip3 install backupfolders`.
### Usage
```python
from backupfolders import backupfolders
# source directory
mainPath = r"C:\Users\HP\Desktop\New folder (2)\flappy-bird"
# backup directory
destinationPath = r"D:\Backups"
# exclude folders not to backup
exclude_folders = [] #if any folder needs to be excluded from backup
backupdir = backupfolders.Backup()
backupdir.backup(mainPath, destinationPath, exclude_folders)
```
There will be a txt file created in which there will be backup log, of which folder you created backup and when it started and completed all this information
