Re: Backing up Yojimbo to JungleDisk Plus (or Rsync)

Sorry for the delay in replying to this but I didn't want to answer until I'd tested a backup. JungleDisk Plus backs up the changes to my Yojimbo database on a nightly basis without any need to shut Yojimbo down. I just tested the integrity of the backup this morning and it was up-to-date as of yesterday. Since I got FIOS, JungleDIsk has become my offsite backup destination and I'm extrememly pleased--not to mention sleeping better at night.

Also, I assume the nightly backup occurs when you aren't actively using Yojimbo. I believe this explains you success to date but doesn't mean Yojimbo is inherently compatible with JungleDisk. I'll can't disagree with that. My offsite backup takes place at 2:30am--a time when I'm seldom at the computer and a logical time for such a backup to occur. The backups happens without shutting Yojimbo down and they are incremental (or block-level if you prefer)--my entire Yojimbo database isn't being uploaded every night, saving on time and upload charges to JD/S3. I can't speak for Time Machine's behavior with Yojimbo as I've never allowed it to back up those files but I do know of a colleague who learned that Time Machine wasn't backing up a shared File Maker database because it was always open. Perhaps the core data/sqlite nature of Yojimbo makes this less of an issue--that's for wonkier minds than mine to worry over. (And as I don't run Filemaker at this time, I have no idea what it's behavior would be vis-a-vis JungeDisk Plus.) Take what you will from my findings, but I am satisfied that my Yojimbo data is being backed up on a nightly basis (with the proviso that if I'm working through the night, a backup might be skipped) as confirmed by the modification date on the JungleDisk'd Yojimbo file which I check regularly and my testing of that archived file--a procedure which will be repeated on an ad hoc basis. It may not be inherently compatible but since it looks and quacks like a duck, I believe I provided a satisfactory answer to the original question. And if I have to resort to my offsite backup--as opposed the local Time Machine/SuperDuper drive--I'd rather have a Yojimbo file from yesteray or last week (or even last month) than no file at all--and there are probably a number of higher priorities on my worry list. YMMV.

Re: Backing up Yojimbo to JungleDisk Plus (or Rsync)
That shouldn't be a problem. I shut yojimbo down and asked JungleDisk to back up my files so yoj db should just be a binary chunk of meat that can be backed up. I really don't understand how JD works.
