Does anyone have a simple (or not so simple) backup script they'd
be willing to share (off list or on list)?
While Emanuel is having a tea break (or probably coffee break), I'll
help him by mentioning the Satimage OSAX 'backup' command.
Personally I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do the whole disk and make it
bootable, and ChronoSync to synchronize folders between Macs, disks,
and so on, keeping careful backup copies of overwritten files as it
goes.
