I have been using Carbon Copy Cloner for years to make a bootable (ostensibly) backup. Well, they seem to have changed their shareware setup so after a certain amount of time it stops working. I just don't have $39.95 to spend on software today so I figured I would write a script in Automator. But I really don't know what I'm doing. My programming really hasn't kept pace beyond Commodore Basic and machine language and Y2K web pages.
I found some basic instructions online to make a scheduled backup but that is not really what I want. I just want a button I can click every couple days to copy every new file, delete files on the backup that I have deleted on my hard drive and keep it bootable in case I need it. Seems simple enough, has anyone here done this? On the wife's PC I just set up an xcopy batch file, simple and dirty. I wish it would tell me what is happening over those two hours it is working, but it does seem to work.
