Python automation script interface for web service backups
Business Process Automation
Dev
Automatization
Backend
I developed an automation script using a combination of Python and .BAT files to perform scheduled backups of specific web pages and web services. The script not only ensures reliable data preservation by creating periodic backups but also sends email notifications with the backup status, providing real-time updates on its execution. Its flexible configuration allows it to adapt to different systems and requirements, making it a robust solution for safeguarding critical information.
