Hello,
I have the script that make a backup file (this process is ok), but now i wish compress the file on tar file format. But i have problem syntax in the line of the tar function.
The error is
[root at master ~]# python bkp_db.py
File "bkp_db.py", line 19
tar = tarfile.open(dumpfile)+'.tar.gz','w:gz')
^
Note: The 'dumpfile' is the variable for my dump generate with format db_02-27-14
......
tar = tarfile.open(dumpfile)+'.tar.gz','w:gz')
tar.add(os.path.join(dumpfile), arcname=dumpfile)
tar.close()
........
Wath is the correct sintax?
Thanks.
