+# Backup Generator 
+
+The "File Backup Script" is a Python script designed to create a backup of files from a source directory and store them in a destination directory. The script uses the shutil and os modules to perform file operations and timestamp the backup folders. Below are the details on how to use this script
+
+# Working
+
+In the backup_files function, you need to specify the source directory and destination directory:
+- Replace /path/to/source_directory with the path to the directory containing the files you want to back up.
+- Replace /path/to/destination_directory with the path to the directory where the backup files should be stored.
+
+# Requirements

+- os
+- shutil
