baklabel

baklabel is a software designed for use in automated scripts to deliver a sensible directory path fragment (or label) each day to construct a grandfathered local backup destination. It can also be run as a stand-alone utility to find the backup label produced for any given date and set of options.

Run baklabel.py -h to see command line usage options.

Same source runs on Python 2.6, Python 2.7 and Python 3.x

Use shell scripts or batch files to call baklabel directly or import it and produce the labels from your own code. See release_note.txt for more detail and instructions.txt for baklabel output examples.
