Automatic Backup and Compression of large file, sped up using Threading. Multithreading helps in achieving MultiTasking using threads.

Along with Multithreading gzip has been used for Compressing large files. I have made sur that the script required no additional library other than the basic standard packages.

As explained there is no specific requirements.txt. So no additional library or packages are required.

There are two files one python and one notebook. Auto_Backup.py is the script that can be quickly used to backup the desired file.

For greater understanding of the script and proof of concept, refer to Auto_Backup.ipynb. The Notebook has further illustrated the Script and is much more detailed.

Example Usage - 

python Auto_backup.py -t ./MIREX_Backup -s ./MIREX_Dataset -c 100000

Command line Input

Directory Before Backup

Directory After Backup

Size Comparison after and before -
