10.5: Set Time Machine disk via AppleScript
Awesome, I have been wanting a way to do this, but I never bothered to figure out the necessary GUI scripting behind it. Question, though: do the backups work correctly? For example, if I'm at work all day backing up to my drive at work, and then I come home and back up at home, will it still back up all 8 (or 10) hours' worth of files that have changed since I last backed up TO THAT SPECIFIC DRIVE? or does it only back up the files that have been changed in the past hour?
10.5: Set Time Machine disk via AppleScript
Time machine stores the state of the file system the last time it backed up on the backup drive itself, so it will update all the files that were changed since it backed up to that drive, thus both drives will be complete backups, they will just have snap shots that were recorded at different times. I've tested this. Nevertheless, it's not a bad idea to check that it has the behavior you expect before relying on it. |
