(I don’t use ChronoSync’s archiving feature, just because it takes up more space on a drive than it is worth to me.) I’m planning to add an additional, weekly, backup for rotating offsite storage (to my bank’s vault).įinally, I regularly transfer copies of my professional databases to a laptop - not for backup purposes, but it does have that side-effect. Time Machine provides multiple generations, the other backups are just today-only. In other words, these automated, attendant-free, processes ensure that I have at least one mirror image of every data disk - two in the case of the system drive. Over here, I use (1) Time Machine (as mentioned), (2) ChronoSync runs a daily job to clone my system disk (where most of my regularly-used databases reside in the Documents folder), (3) a second daily ChronoSync job to copy my secondary backup disk (remainder of my databases reside there) to a clone of that drive. (And the disk failed just as I was doing a full disk-clone with Carbon Copy Cloner–I know about these types of solutions.) I need a comprehensive solution that won’t let me do something like this again. The result was two weeks worth of clipping and storing gone. I had carefully backed-up my DT databases-but hadn’t known about the Global Inbox being in another location. I note that I just suffered a hard drive crash.
This, too isn’t an optimal situation.Ĭan someone at least show me how to edit the script to insert a different backup location?
The script “Export–>Daily Backup Archive” seems limited to putting the backup in a folder “backup” (where is it?) and does not allow one to change the backup location on the fly. I need to be able to back up all my DT databases (including the Global Inbox!) to an external drive, in as few steps as possible.Īs I understand it now, the command: file–>export–>Database Archive only works on one database at a time. I’m still fairly new to DevonThink, and need some help on the perennial topic of backup.
