Developed by:
Backupcpio is designed to be run by periodic (cron) every night, week or month. You can also set it up to run manually. Being a shell script, it's extremelycflexible.
Here are some key features of "BackupCpio":
· Provides a report in the periodic log (see /var/log/daily.log, /var/log/weekly.log or /var/log/monthly.log, depending on when you run the backup - by default, daily) that tells you what was backed up. There should never be any permissions problems since the script runs as root.
· All permissions and ownership is backed up and restored.
· Backs up to anything: an iDisk (if you have a fast Internet connection), a networked Mac, PC, Linux box, an external hard drive, whatever.
· Icons are restored to their original location.
· Folder icons are all restored as they were originally.
· Packages are all fully restored.
What's New in This Release:
· Improved the way the restore application manages backup files with spaces in the path.
