Questions about usage after setting up
gridsystem opened this issue · comments
Mackup looks great, I've been reading through docs and have setup a config file on one machine, added some ignores to it and backed up a bunch of stuff to icloud.
I've run a dry run of mackup restore on the newer machine. Before I do restore from the backup, I just want to make sure I've understood everything correctly before make any assumptions and risk losing any data!
After I have done the initial backup on old machine and restore on new, can I also run mackup backup on new, to backup files which were not present on old machine? I'm not talking about merging two bash configs together, I mean backup bash on old machine and backup curl on new machine, then end up with bash and curl configs on both machines.
After I have done the initial backup and restore, can I safely continue to run mackup backup and mackup restore from time to time on both machines, to add newly generated configs which either of them created?
Thanks so much in advance for helping me :)
I read through closed GH issues and realised each backup and restore only backs up and restores the new files. So I took the plunge.
This is a 10/10 utility, wish I'd found it years ago. I'll do my best to put together PRs with some new apps and maybe add to docs explaining the above if you're open to it.
Great, I'm glad you found the related issues that have already been covered. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming PRs.
