it keeps a log of backups and also makes a list of all your applications so you know what you had in case you ever have to start from scratch.
anyway, here's the script if anyone wants to give it a try!
#!/bin/bash #dan criel's sweet backup script
echo Backup: &&/bin/date
if [ ! -d "/Volumes/Backup/" ]; then
echo Plug in the backup drive, dumbass!
exit -1 fi
#rsync options: -a recurses, preserves links, etc. # --delete removes files from destination that no longer # exist at source # ** trailing slash at the end of directory names is essential **
/usr/bin/rsync -a --delete/Library//Volumes/Backup/Library/ /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete/Users//Volumes/Backup/Users/ /bin/date >/Volumes/Backup/MyApps.txt /bin/ls/Applications >>/Volumes/Backup/MyApps.txt
It seems strange that this is (to my knowledge) the first time this idea has been implemented. It doesn't seem too hard, with Yahoo! and Google translation services available for hacking. I'd love to see this manifest as a standard feature in other clients like AdiumX or Gaim...any developers out there reading this thread?? ^_^
I guess I'll have to find a new name for my latest project: BritneySpearsAVIMP3WarezSuperMarioBrosWindowsXPEpi sodeIII. (It turns Caps Lock on when you sneeze)
Well, if we assume that some of these people are not living in total poverty, I think it would be safe to also assume that there is a good chance that some of them would become enthusiastic about Linux enough to become developers.
However, I definitely see your point. When I say "some of them," I realize this number will be probably be staggeringly low compared to the number of International developers living in other countries.
In any case, if even a handful of Indians decide to contribute, it's still a good thing for the open-source community, right?
Would users of KaZaA and eDonkey, etc. still be safe because their uploads consist of harmless fragments of files? It's just a coincidence that the other peer's software just happens to know how to peice the fragments together to make the file whole again....
Maybe not.
Remember when mp3s were legal if you deleted them within 24 hours or something? Those were the days.

the -E option is probably a good idea also. add it if you want.
the script is designed to be run with stdout directed into a file, like such: it keeps a log of backups and also makes a list of all your applications so you know what you had in case you ever have to start from scratch.

With so many Indians in the software industry already, maybe we will start seeing some more great open source software come from India.
Remember Sega Saturn?... ...yeah me neither.
