I threw this process together because I was already an avid dropbox user and needed to start doing some joint iOS development with a friend and suggested we make use of dropbox as a centralized project store.

This post follows the premise that you’ve got some external storage and you’re looking to back something up across to it.
In my case I wanted to backup my Music, but I didn’t want to have to clear or overwrite every time I wanted to run the backup. This is where rsync comes in.
rsync has algorithms to allow it to incrementally backup files, so it would only transfer the bits that have changed.
/Volumes is where USB sticks get mounted in the mac filesystem so the rsync command in the terminal would go like this:
rsync -au /source/of/backup/. /Volumes/directory/. –progress
I intended to run this fairly frequently but not automate it, thus I made an alias in ~/.bash_profile:
alias backupmusic=”rsync -au /Users/greg/Music/. /Volumes/GG-120GB-2/iTunes/. –progress”
