Free backup script software for mac

Hedge Backup Script 1.1.0 provides you with a very helpful and easy-to-use backup script for your Unix systems which can make a compressed, encrypted tarball, either full or differential-by-date and sends it to one or more remote hosts via ssh. It sends you a report, and cleans up old backup images. Hedge was originally designed under Linux, and is based around a handful of common linux tools: bash, ssh, tar, gzip, openssl, mailx, logger, date, egrep, sed and md5sum

Note: For a better understanding of how to use this script, please refer to the readme file in the archive.

Major Features:

1. Backs up filesystems with tar
2. Compresses its archives with gzip
3. Encrypts its archives with openssl
4. Pipes the archive to remote storage using ssh
5. Uses simple Y-M-D date-stamps to housekeep its archives
6. Is just a shell script. Hopefully a fairly legible one.

iCal Backup AppleScript 1.0 is an effective and user-friendly tool that allows for the creation of a backup file by selecting File > Back up iCal. You can later restore iCal by double-clicking the backup file. Restoring iCal from a backup works great as long as you have a recent backup. But that's rarely the case.

You could configure iCal to create backups automatically with a little help from AppleScript. This script will backup iCal when run. You can create alarms in iCal to run scripts. To configure iCal to back itself up every day, create a repeating alarm in iCal that runs this script.

Backup List 2.2 is a tool to backup files for Mac OS X.

Backup Mail is a small AppleScript that scans all Eudora mailboxes for messages older than the value of "aging" in days.
It moves any messages it finds to a designated mailbox "BackupMailbox."

Any mailboxes listed in the Exclude property are not checked, and this may be confirmed because the windows of unchecked mailboxes are not closed by the script. This allows the user to easily move any desired messages to the backup folder manually. I exclude "In" because the vast majority of my mail gets filtered, and "In" usually contains on-going conversations with people or messages I want to keep available.

Completly freeware.

Backup timer is an AppleScript that simpley backs up a folder daily.

This script is a timed applescript that stays open where it checks the time once an hour and when it corresponds to the hour designated in the script, executes a duplicate command where a folder of files to be backed up is copied to a folder named for that day.

The folder is backed up daily (from Monday to Friday). The script runs within a time range, gives a voice warning, mounts a volume, duplicates a specified folder to a folder that matches the day of the week with a timeout command, ejects the volume and quits.

The script should be saved as an application and should always be running.
