python学习：备份文档并压缩为zip格式

import os
import time

source = ['/root/notes']

target_dir = '/root/backup'

if not os.path.exists(target_dir):
    os.mkdir(target_dir)

today = target_dir+os.sep+time.strftime('%Y%m%d')

now = time.strftime('%H%M%S')

target=today+os.sep+now+'.zip'

if not os.path.exists(today):
    os.mkdir(today)
    print('Successfully created directory',today)

zip_command='zip -r {0} {1}'.format(target,
                                     ' '.join(source))

print('Zip command is:')
print(zip_command)
print('Running:')
if os.system(zip_command) == 0:
    print('Successful backup to', target)
else:
    print('Backup Failed')

执行结果：

[root@localhost ~]# python backup.py
('Successfully created directory', '/root/backup/20170918')
Zip command is:
zip -r /root/backup/20170918/232132.zip /root/notes
