AppleScript to backup iCal and Address Book
Following an unfortunate incident with his mobile phone, Nick at Socklabs has written an AppleScript
that will create backups of your iCal and Address Book data into a new folder.
It also tars and gzips them and then pushes the backup to a remote host.
He is also offering to answer any queries people might have with using it.
It’s not as user-friendly as BackityMac, but it’s a solution that will put you in touch with your inner Geek.
