All options you ask for can be written with a single rsync command if not cp. You just need to learn to use the shell utilities already available to you. Ultracopier (Teracopy, SuperCopier like), replacement for files copy dialogs » Here's a program that has a Mac and a PC version, free, clearly has been inspired by or has seen Teracopy.

Teracopy for PC can't help you, but you could look on its page, and also for reviews of it, and see if there is something for Mac like it: There are several "sync" programs for PC that can be programmed fairly easily to do exactly what you want - but I find they are too much bother to do what you are doing, and I often do the same thing. But if you choose "All", it does not discriminate by the dates automatically itself. Any file/filename that exists on the target drive, your overall backup drive, that is about to be copied over, it pops up a box listing the date and filesize of both versions and asks you to overwrite or skip or rename, by each file or "All" that follow. On PC there is Teracopy (free version is enough) which does almost that automatically. Because after condensing all this, THEN I intend to make some mirrored backups, and take offsite, etc. I don't believe Time Machine will really do what I want, plus I want the files to just be raw files not the special Time Machine backup stuff.

without asking for a decision for every file.įrustratingly, OS X *sometimes* will give just this kind of scenario, asking something like "do you want to update older versions" but I think only within sub-folders. I want to copy such that it will sort through, folder-by-folder and sub-folder by sub-folder, and:ġ) Anything on original drive not on the backup gets copiedĢ) Anything on original drive, and also on backup drive but older, gets OVERWRITTENģ) Anything on original drive, and also on backup drive but with same/newer date, is NOT overwrittenĤ) Nothing is DELETED from the backup drive (overwritten, maybe, but NOT deleted, so this is not a cloning or sync operation)ĥ).

Right now I laboriously go through opening every sub-folder and copying to the matching backup sub-folder, which does get new content copied over but could lead to mistakenly overwriting a newer version of something which is on the backup (since it came from another machine).

I want to condense this so the backup has the podcast + each unique interview. Each machine might have a sub-sub-folder titled "Ritchie Blackmore" which let's pretend all have the same podcast about him, but each machine maybe has a different interview. In particular, each machine has some different downloaded music files. But they do not all have the same "old" stuff so I cannot just clone or sync. My scenario is that I do fresh work on several different machines, so each machine has some new stuff on it. I finally downloaded Carbon Copy Cloner and also Super Duper, but do not see how to do what I want despite some posts saying I could. Except that's not exactly what I want to do, see below. Once upon a time, well actually a few times (I know, bad dog!) I started a thread about backup or syncing software on a Mac.
