SuperDuper?
Does SuperDuper! offer command line toots? I use IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) and really value the CL interface. Setting up cron jobs makes it much more of a "set it and forget it" solution for me. No, but it sounds like what you want is automation, and SuperDuper does have its own built in scheduling which works just fine (as long as you remember to have the drive connected, which is the only time it fails to work for me).
SD's implementation is superior than cron because it is easier to use. However I think it will limit you to once a day backups. However, the only maxim still applies: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If your setup is working for you, why change it? SD can automatically run scripts before and after it is run. I use one of these to unmount the drive before SD tells the computer to sleep. I wrote this tip on how to implement that http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060511125715782&lsrc=osxh

SD's implementation is superior than cron because it is easier to use.The SD! scheduler is a GUI for managing cron entries that run scheduled backups. So, it's not really superior to something it uses. :-) However I think it will limit you to once a day backups.You can schedule multiple backups per day. |
