Backup multiple volumes sequentially (Applescript)
-- Script by Al Cellier 2010-06-03
-- This Applescript needs YOUR folder name and needs YOUR settings files previously saved. No warranties, use at your own risk. Works for me. -- Script will step through all files in folder "C-X" within the "Saved Settings" folder - Replace "C-X" in both places with "YOUR FOLDER"! -- Pre-save YOUR settings files! The sequence is set by prefixing the settings filenames with 01, 02, 03 ... -- For verification, the script displays a dialog showing the location, number of files, and filenames. When you click "OK" then it runs unattended. -- At each file it calls on SuperDuper! to perform the backup, per the settings file tell application "Finder" set Settingsfolder to POSIX file "/Users/acellier/Library/Application Support/SuperDuper!/Saved Settings/C-X/" as alias set FileList to every file in Settingsfolder display dialog (Settingsfolder & " " & (number of items in FileList & " items in list ") & name of items of Settingsfolder & " Power Up the Backup Drive 'X'!") as text repeat with i from 1 to number of items in FileList set NamedFile to (name of item i of FileList) tell application "SuperDuper!" try do shell script "sleep 5" if status is idle then run using settings ("C-X/" & NamedFile) without user interaction end if repeat while status is running do shell script "sleep 6" end repeat if status is done then tell application "SuperDuper!" to quit do shell script "sleep 7" end if on error errMsg display dialog "Oops! ... " & errMsg end try end tell end repeat end tell display dialog ("Back ups All Complete !! Dismount & Power down the backup drive 'X'") end |
