My Python library: command-line backup tools mainly

Through my daytime work, I use online tools a lot ( e.g. Gliffy, MindMeister )  so one could say I am confident about conducting work online.  Sometimes though I feel I need a safety net and this is why I like to use my moonlight time to calm my qualms about the possibility of loosing my work.

To this effect, I have created a python library with several command-line tools ( cross-platform i.e. Windows and Linux, tested on Ubuntu ) to perform, amongst other tasks, backup of my online documents.  The library documentation page is available here.

Gliffy diagrams backup tool

Delicious  is a useful tool. I use it in an unconventional way sometimes: I bookmark some resources with tags which serve as indicators for my backup tools. As an example, when I tag my Gliffy diagram pages with the my-diagrams tag, my backup tool grabs the corresponding diagrams and makes local copies on my server.

The backup tool I am referring to is readily available here.  I configure the backup tool to run periodically through cron jobs on my Linux server.
