review my python backup script

I'm fairly new to python and I've been working on this script for a week. I would like to get your input on my script and what improvements I can make to it. The way it works is by reading a file for backup times, which folders to backup and where to backup up to. It then checks if those directories exist and are valid. Then it backups the folders. It has a log file to log any errors that it may encounter.

What I would like to do to it is make it run when the computer boots up and run it as a service on windows. I am going to make it an executable using cxfreeze when I'm done.

Thanks for your input!
