Re: cron jobs for mac
CronniX is pretty cool. I found it a couple weeks ago, after I’d configured crontab -e via Terminal for my backups. There’s a really simple cron tutorial [pdf] too.
I’m using this to backup my home directory nightly and my localhost directory every 10 hours to my firewire drive (“Scratch”).
0 20 * * * rsync -aqz --delete ~/ /Volumes/Scratch/Backup/
* *10/ * * * rsync -aqz --delete /Library/WebServer/Documents/ /Volumes/Scratch/Server/I like rsync + cron a lot better than SilverKeeper, CarbonCopyCloner, and SuperDuper, since it’s only a few lines of code versus a full application. I don’t want a full clone, just my home dir and server, so the command line works for me :).

Re: cron jobs for mac
jm,
If your version of rsync supports it, use —delete-during, this deletes files as it traverses folders. It’s much quicker in my tests than deleting everything at the start of the job with —delete.

Rats! It’s not included with my version. It might be on my server though, so I’ll try it out there. Thanks for the tip!
--delete delete files that don't exist on the sending side
--delete-excluded also delete excluded files on the receiving side
--delete-after receiver deletes after transferring, not beforeLast edited by jm (2007-04-06 17:31:33)
