Question re Users

[prouss]

I have different User IDs on my Mac (for wife, kids etc.) SD is scheduled from my account, but seems to be backing up all users - which is fine. But if my kids happen to be logged in when SD is scheduled to run, it doesn't run. Is there a way to get SD to run whichever user is logged in at the scheduled run time? Thanks.

Only if you schedule under each account.

Will a smart update produce exactly the same backup regardless of which user it's scheduled and run from?

[dnanian]

Yes: assuming no one is using FileVault, of course.

I have five scheduled copy scripts running on a daily, weekly and monthly basis when I am logged in. I would like to have the same five schedules and same five scripts run whichever user is logged in.

Is there any easier way to do this, and maintain it, than setting up all five syncs from scratch when logged in as each individual user?

For example, are there settings/script files I could copy across? I see that I am the owner of all the scripts and their enclosing folders in my SuperDuper! Application Support folder; everyone else has read-only permission. I presume I would need to change if I wanted to make a copy for another user, no?

Sorry, no: you'd have to schedule as each user.
