Hello!
Sorry if this has been posted before, I searched but couldnt find anything with what I needed.
I have an Xserve at work running 10.2.8. I have an external backup drive for almost offsite backup. So each night I have to manually copy over the Users folder onto this backup, which takes about 4-5 hours. This doesnt do my sanity or the HD much good, so I was looking into scripting.
Is there a way to tell Finder to only copy across new or modified files/folders? This would mean that backing up would take much less time.
set folderToBackup to alias "disk1:folder:"
set destinationFolder to alias "disk2:folder:"
tell application "Finder" to duplicate folderToBackup to destinationFolder replacing yes
Is there something I could replace “replacing yes” with?
Thanks for any suggestions…
