This Python program creates a backup of a folder by compressing its contents into a .zip
file.
1. It defines a func on called backup_folder that takes the name of a folder
as input.
2. Inside the func on:
o It gets the absolute path of the folder.
o It creates a .zip file with the same name as the folder (e.g., backing
up example_folder will create example_folder.zip).
3. It then goes through all files inside the folder (including subfolders) using
[Link]().
4. For each file it finds, it adds that file to the .zip file using the zipfile module.
5. Finally, it runs this backup process for two folders: example_folder and
xyz_folder.
