Introduction

The File Synchronization Script is a Python utility that synchronises files and folders between a source directory (folder) and a backup directory (backup). It ensures that both directories have identical files and folder structures.

Features

• Synchronize files and folders between folder and backup.
• Create a log of synchronization activities.
• Configurable synchronization interval.
• Handles file updates, deletions, and new file additions.

Usage

python main.py: This is the command to run the Python script. --config config.txt: Specifies the path to the configuration file. --interval 300: Sets the synchronization interval to 300 seconds. --log sync_log.log: Specifies the path to the log file. --folder /path/to/source: Sets the source folder path for synchronization. --backup /path/to/backup: Sets the backup folder path.

Example:

python main.py --config config.txt --interval 300 --log sync_log.log --folder /path/to/source --backup /path/to/backup
