An Applescript to Back Up Yojimbo
Yojimbo doesn’t play nice with time machine. It would be nice if bare bones provided some sort of backup script, but I could not find one, so I gimbled one together. It shuts down Yojimbo (how reliably I cannot say), then does a copy of the Yojimbo database to the user/Library/Application Support/Yojimbo Backups folder (only one copy is stored there). I think it works, use at your own risk.
Basically, run the script periodically, exclude your Library/Application Support/Yojimbo from TimeMachine backups, and you should be good to go. I intend to copy the backup of the Yojimbo Database to JungleDisk.
You can download the script here. If you want any useful feedback from it, you need to install Growl.
I wonder what percentage of mac users can actually install and run an apple script (don’t forget chomd -x), and configure growl or even know what it is. I am hoping to join the group of mac users who can actually schedule an applescript to run. I think I can do it with crontab -e (how is that for Gobbledeygook!).
