A simple backup utility for macOS
Uses commander.js and inquirer.js
npm -g install @jjcosgrove/max
max lets you create backups of your files via the command line/terminal. Currently it has the following functionality:
| command | function |
|---|---|
| init | Initialize max |
| add | Add a new backup entry to max |
| remove | Remove a backup entry from max |
| hold | Place a backup entry in max, on hold |
| unhold | Place a backup entry in max, on unhold |
| list [-v] | List backup entries for max |
| backup | Backup everything as defined in max |
This is very much a pre-pre alpha release (i.e. if it blows up your mac, don't come knocking).
Paths as entered into max, are relative to $HOME - always.
Desktop/Backups => /Users/{YOU}/Desktop/Backups
etc.
There is a snapshot feature you can enable when running 'init'. This simply prepends the backups with the timestamp as chosen during the init process.
