file backup in windows

[k.i.n.g.]

Hi,

The following code has worked for me, I will continue from here to make
this further userfriendly.
More I would like to know how can i distribute my python code as self
installer package.
In the process of learning programming I would like take
OutlookBackup.py as my first project and learn accordingly. Please
guide me in this.

Once again thank you all of you for your valuable suggestions

Regards,
Kk

now = time.strftime('%H.%M.%S')
target = today +'_'+ now
shutil.copytree(source, target) # copy directory tree
