A simple little script that exports django filer files.

django-filer-backup.py

import os
import filer
from shutil import copyfile

def ensure_dir(file_path):
    if not os.path.exists(file_path):
        os.makedirs(file_path)
        

backup_dir = "/backup_dir"

ensure_dir(backup_dir)

folders = filer.models.Folder.objects.all()

for folder in folders:
  print backup_dir + "/" + folder.name  
  ensure_dir(backup_dir + "/" + folder.name)
  files = folder.files.all()
  for file in files:
    #print file.path
    file.name = os.path.split(file.path)[1]
    print " " + file.name
    copyfile(file.path, backup_dir + "/" + folder.name + "/" + file.name)
