Rsync Your Mac OS/X Data Scenario # 1 - All data is accessible from the desktop Assuming your user name is WhatsYourFace you could just type this
command in to the terminal window. If you don't know your WhatsYourFace you can find out usually by simply opening a terminal window and using the pwd command: pwd and then you know that you are user WhatsYourFace and you are in the directory /Users/WhatsYourFace/. Rsync Your Mac OS/X Data to a Local Drive With a Three Line Script Things get a bit more complicated when backing up from more than one point. That is when a simple script can be created to do the job. Here is a simple case of backing up from two data points with a file that I named RsyncToBackupDrive.csh: #!/bin/csh Explanation: "ls -laF" lists the contents of directories for you So there you have it. Easy as pi. |
