git-annex works fine on Linux and Android (not sure about other systems, but if I remember correctly, also on Mac and Windows).Ī git-annex assistant demo screen: matches your situation with the USB stick :) The entire process is not usually triggered immediately, but might have a short delay (the daemon checks in intervals AFAIK).
Git-annex assistant guides you through the setup process in easy steps (click images for larger variants) For the latter, you simply declare the entire "local harddisk annex" as "preferred content" in your "external annex" – which then would take care to automatically make the content itself available there (instead of just the metadata). Now, everything you drop in one place, is easily "known" on the other – though by default not "physically there". For your case, I'd recommend using that to set up two "annexes": One is the download directory on your local harddisk, and the other is your "external drive". It can work locally, via network, with online media.Īt a first look it might seem a bit "confusing and hard to set up" – but luckily there's git-annex assistant which makes things easy (just look for that at Youtube for some nice presentations). You can think of it as a kind of "open-source Dropbox and more". Recreate identical systems on other disks: With the copy of your original system realized by Clone X, you can install a similar system on other disks or other computers, preserving your own configuration and settings.Git-annex might be a good candidate here. You'll have your system back to its original state. Repair your System: Starting from this clone, Clone X will be able at any time to repair your system if damaged, or if some data was lost, or an installation has corrupted your system. The clone is compressed to save disk space, and you can create as many clones as you need. The clone is saved on an external drive, CD-R as well as a part of your internal disk. Moreover, any copy or installation must preserve permissions and ownership of each file.Ĭlone your System: Clone X provides powerful features to analyze your system (OS X and OS 9), to execute a full copy (a clone) of your System, even if the system was installed and updated many times with the updaters provided by Apple. It is no longer confined within the System 9 System folder, but is distributed all around multiple folders, most of them being inaccessible (invisible, protected or permission denied). With OS X, the system is now a very complex construction. Clone X is specially designed to create a copy of your system, to duplicate it on other disks or computers, and to repair and reinstall the system in case of problems (damaged system, errors during installation, etc.)
