Hello again,
@Alex Glaros and @Ben Duncan --
Thanks for your replies.
I was trying to do a weekly backup in pythonanywhere .
My script works finally (with many thanks to kind people out there like
yourselves). I can choose a day of the week and put that in
(weekday == int)
0 being Monday.
I remove the old file first and then get a new file for the backup.
My good script is below:-)
import datetime
import os
today = datetime.date.today()
weekday = today.weekday()
if (weekday == 0):
os.system("rm -f pgbackup*")
os.system("pg_dump --host=[hostname] --port=[port number]
--username=[username] --format=c --file=pgbackup`date +%F-%H%M`.dump
--dbname=[your_database_name]")
Catch you later !
