Tarfile module error

[Kartic]

Your NewBackupFilename contains ":" which is not a valid character in a
filename in Windows.

You could do something like this:
>>> NewBackupFilename = DirBackup + '\\' + '%s' %
str(datetime.today()).replace(':', '-') + '.tar.bz2'
>>> NewBackupFilename
'c:\\\\skpdc01\\\\Backups\\2005-01-21 12-26-21.373000.tar.bz2'
>>> TarFileBackup = tarfile.open(NewBackupFilename, 'w:bz2')
>>> # Works!
I changed your DirBackup to 'C:\skpdc01\Backups'

Thanks,
