backup 1.0

backup 1.0 is a professional and complete package which provides unattended backups for MacOS. When used on MacOS 10.4 (Tiger), it will generate appropriately-sized, tar-format archives, including the resource forks, in dated, sequentially-numbered burn folders on the user's Desktop, ready to burn to DVDs or CDs. (With MacOS 10.2-3, the ready-to-burn archives will not include the resource fork, and will be in folders with the suffix .fpbf).

If you have enough disk space, you can back-up your entire system. You can optionally back-up only files newer than a specified date for incremental back-ups. If you are short of disk space, you can use the -m option to manually burn each volume.

The default paths to back-up are configured into the script, so usage for regular back-ups is simply backup in a terminal, or you can double-click backup in the Finder. Optionally, the paths to back-up and various options can be specified on the command line.
