Backupcpio backs up all the contents of the Users and root directories. Each item (file/folder) is backed up to a separate file that can be restored separately. Files are named the same as in the original name with the .cpio extension.
Backupcpio is designed to be run by periodic (cron) every night, week or month. You can also set it up to run manually. Being a shell script, it's extremelycflexible.
Here are some key features of "BackupCpio":
Provides a report in the periodic log (see /var/log/daily.log, /var/log/weekly.log or /var/log/monthly.log, depending on when you run the backup - by default, daily) that tells you what was backed up. There should never be any permissions problems since the script runs as root.
All permissions and ownership is backed up and restored.
Backs up to anything: an iDisk (if you have a fast Internet connection), a networked Mac, PC, Linux box, an external hard drive, whatever.
Icons are restored to their original location.
Folder icons are all restored as they were originally.
Packages are all fully restored.
What's New:
Improved the way the restore application manages backup files with spaces in the path.
