Tempus Machina\nby Morgan Aldridge \u003cmorgant@makkintosshu.com\u003e\n\n## OVERVIEW\n\nTempus Machina aims to provide a macOS (nee OS X) [Time Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_(macOS)) work-alike powered by [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/), especially the `tmutil` command line utility.\n\n## PREREQUISITES\n\n* OpenBSD:\n  * e2fsprogs package (for `genuuid`)\n\n## USAGE\n\nThe intent is to support the same `tmutil` command line interface as Apple's native binary:\n\n```\ntmutil verb [options]\n```\n\n### VERBS\n\nSupported verbs currently include:\n\n* `setdestination [-a] arg`: Set a local mount as a backup destination\n  * Requires root\n  * If the `-a` option is given, the `arg` will be added to the list of destinations, otherwise `arg` will replace the list of destinations\n* `destinationinfo`: Print information about currently configured backup destinations\n* `removedestination identifier`: Remove the backup destination with the `indentifier` unique identifier\n  * Requires root\n* `machinedirectory`: Print the path to the computer's current backup directory\n* `listbackups`: Print information about completed backups for this computer\n* `addexclusion [-p] item`: Add a file/directory/mount to be excluded from backups\n  * Requires root\n  * If the `-p` option (currently required) is given, a fixed-path exclusion will be added for `item`\n* `removeexclusion [-p] item`: Remove exclusion of file/path/mount from backups\n  * Requires root\n  * If the `-p` option (currently required) is given, the fixed-path exclusion witll be removed for `item`\n* `isexcluded item`: Determine if a file/directory/mount will be excluded from backups\n* `startbackup [-b] [-d dest_id]`: Manually start a new backup\n  * Currently requires root\n  * If the `-b` option (currently required) is given, it will wait until the backup has completed before exiting\n  * If the `-d` option is given, the backup will be performed to the destination with `dest_id` unique identifier\n* `latestbackup`: Print information about the computer's most recent backup\n* `delete [ -d destination -t timestamp ] [ -p path ]`: Delete a specific backup for the computer\n  * Requires root\n  * If the '-p' option is given, it will delete the backup specified by the path\n  * If the '-d' \u0026 '-t' options are given, it will build the backup's path from the destination and timestamp and delete that backup\n* `deleteinprogress machine_directory`: Delete incomplete backups in path\n  * Requires root\n\nNot all of the options that Apple's binary supports are included above. More verbs and options will be added as time permits.\n\n## LICENSE\n\nReleased under the [MIT License](LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmorgant%2Ftempus-machina","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmorgant%2Ftempus-machina","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmorgant%2Ftempus-machina/lists"}
