rsync

Mac homebrew and homebrew-alt

Updating mac homebrew from 0.7.1 to 0.8 removed the rsync formula that I use to update mac rsync from the supplied 2.x version to 3.x.

This is due to the fact that homebrew doesn't want duplicates of existing software.

However - these are still available from the homebrew-dupes repository.

Backing up Aperture Vault to a NAS

Listening to the digital story this morning prompted me to think about my Aperture setup.

Aperture has its "vault" functionality - but this only works to the local hard drive or to USB/firewire drives directly attached to the box.

I have a RAID5 based NAS (network attached storage) device which I would  far prefer to have my backups on - since I've had USB disks die on me before.

How to get the vault onto the network device?
