Hi all, sharing a personal script I use on my Macbook to automate duplicacy.
This is a zsh shell script automated with launchd; and checks battery, wifi, and time since last backup before running. It stores the last revision timestamp locally and does an offline check before running, to minimize footprint of the background process.
Tested working with macOS 15 (which broke some scripts calling SSID). I’ve also just added Healthchecks integration in the last version.
There are already plenty of wonderful and feature-rich tools out there, but this simple script works for my use case, and I hope the code may help anyone who may be stuck on their own script (like I was on many occasions!). Any part of this script may be easily adapted for duplicacy’s native pre/post command script function.
