[Cialug] Slightly OT, .. mirror files on Apple to a Linux server

[Jeffrey Ollie]

I use Restic for all of my backups. They have a version for Macs it seems.
Schedule that in cron and you're good to go. Once the initial backup is
done subsequent incremental backups are fast so you can do them pretty
often. Advantage over rsync is that it's a backup and not a synchronization
so old versions of files can be kept around for a while in case something
gets accidentally deleted or corrupted.
