A+ Don's Home Backup

jeremy-pearlman

In the A+ course (Storage Devices and Media Part 2 episode), Don mentions that he syncs his hard drives every night at midnight on his home computer. Out of curiosity, what software or tools do you use to accomplish this? I know on Linux you could use rsync and cron.

Thanks!

Jeremy,

Don's MAC powerbook backup brew is combination of several tools and may be ever changing as well. I believe at the time we recorded that episode, he was using the free bitorrent sync for that. It could have changed by now. I know for backup he was using, I believe still is using too, the Time Capsule in MAC.

Don is constantly trying new software to get him the solution that he desires. So the sync that he used then may have already changed multiple times.

Cordially,
