This might help someone in the future, so for the record here is how I have my backup routine setup:
I have two external FW drives with several volumes each. I like to keep these volumes unmounted so that they don't interfere. SD will auto-mount and then auto-unmount destination drives [but not source drives]. I run two backups every night: - a smart update clone of my Mac HD - a smart update of a volume named ARCHIVES which contains files that I don't have room for on my Mac HD (mostly media, photos, keynotes, etc) 5:00a Energy Saver set to wake up iMac 5:01a iCal alarm set to mount the volume ARCHIVES using an AppleScript (this is necessary because ARCHIVES will be a source volume) 5:02a SD scheduled to start ARCHIVES backup 5:04a SD scheduled to start Mac HD clone When the Mac HD clone is finished, it runs a shell script to unmount the ARCHIVES volume and then it sleeps the iMac. Scripts used: iCal alarm AppleScript: do shell script "BDISK=`/usr/sbin/diskutil list | awk '$3==\"ARCHIVES\" {print $6}'`;/usr/sbin/diskutil mount $BDISK" SD shell script: #!/bin/bash BDISK=`/usr/sbin/diskutil list | awk '$3=="ARCHIVES" {print $6}'` /usr/sbin/diskutil unmount $BDISK > /dev/null Here is where I got the scripts: http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/200...scripts-redux/ |
