Using Scripts to Automate Backups
Regardless of whether you create a backup, synchronization, or bootable backup, the specific details
of your session are called a “script”. (You don’t need a script to restore files, as you’ll see in chapter
5, Backing Up, Synchronizing, and Restoring ).
There are three advantages to using scripts. First, they ensure that you back up the same files, in the
same way, every time; second, scripts can trigger actions from other programs and Mac OS X;
third, Intego Backup Manager Pro lets you schedule scripts to run periodically without requiring
your attention.
For example, you might create a script that does the following, every day at 5 pm:
•
Selects all spreadsheet documents that are under 20 MB;
•
Scans them with Intego VirusBarrier X5;
•
Backs them up, keeping only the two latest versions, then;
•
Shuts down your Mac.
We’ll discuss scripts in detail in chapter 4 ( Script Options ).
