BackupScript - 2.1

BackupScript takes advantage of one of the Mac OS's main power-houses: AppleScript. Every Mac has it, every Mac can use it, and Apple keeps making it more and more powerful. That said, I decided to finally start utilizing AppleScript and I whipped-up this script to perform daily backups of my main system's Home folder as well as my networked Mac's Home folder. All you have to do is open the script file, change a few lines to match your setup (I tell you which ones in the script), save your changed script as an application, then use it whenever and however you see fit. That's it! A 100% free backup solution for Mac OS X! NOTE: This script performs FULL backups, not incremental backups. Features include:

• Optional backup of a networked Mac (or PC).
• Full error handling/messaging (like a permissions error).
• Successful backup confirmation so you know your data was backed up properly.
• Simple to set up.
• Optional auto-Trash emptying after the backup is finished.
