A program that will automatically backup your portable devices to a folder in your home directory, which is configurable. Currently works with inotifywait (inotify tools). Need to implement HAL and udisks. Currently there aren't very many instructions. So here goes. ----------------------------- To install: ("BackupFolder" is whereever you want to place your backups) Make the following folders: BackupFolder/zdata/bin BackupFolder/zdata/cache BackupFolder/zdata/settings Install backup-portable-drives to: BackupFolder/zdata/bin/backup-portable-drives and backup-portable-drives.conf to: BackupFolder/zdata/backup-portable-drives.conf Place your backup config (from example.conf) in BackupFolder/zdata/settings Run the program at (at computer startup): BackupFolder/zdata/bin/backup-portable-drives Backup will show up in BackupFolder/<backup name> -------------------------------- To configure: Each backup config file start with: # Drive id (program uses this to find and verify same drive) # ID: 2345-4321 The "2345-4321" is your drive serial, though for now it just looks for a file called ".uuid-info" at the root of the portable drive and sees if it contains that number.
