Making backups with Disk Copy


  • Subject: Making backups with Disk Copy

Disk Copy seems like an ideal tool for making backups but its dictionary is a little hard to follow.

To convert a folder to a .dmg file:

Tell application "Disk Copy" to open (choose folder{})

This snippet displays prompts the user to choose a folder and then the save as dialog box for Disk Copy appears.

I know where I want to save the image and I know the name, file type, etc, that I want the new .dmg file to have. How can I bypass Disk Copy's dialog box?
