Sub Directory directory Rename zip

This script is used to backup a directory and all subdirectories to a specified location. Then it compress the results into a Zip (or 7Zip) file, and rename it to the current date (YYYY-MM-DD).

Note:

Provide the source path and the destination path.

For example:

sc =r'C:\Users\comodo\Desktop\dir' #Provide the source folder path here
ds =r'C:\Users\comodo\desktop\new' #Provide the destination path were the folder need to be copied.

Run the script as system user.

Procedure's Instructions

import os

sc =r'xxxxxxxxxx'          #Provide the source folder path here    
ds =r'xxxxxxxxxx'        #Provide the destination path were the folder need to be copied.

dest1=ds+"\\"+"new123"
src_path=dest1+'new.zip'
