Backup scripts


Recommended Posts

Is there a way to write a script that will backup the current project with all its associated files to an external drive. I have Time Machine set to backup the entire hard drive incrementally every hour. I can live with this, but what I want to do is backup the current project to an external drive at the end of the day just for added security. I don't know wether this can be done with AppleScript or with third party software, I am quite willing to pay. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, you could do it using an Automator Workflow of type "Calendar Alarm" so that you can schedule it to run whenever you want.

 

This one, for example, will take the most recently modified folder (and its contents) and copy it from the Desktop to the Downloads folder:

Hope that helps,

 

J.
