Schedule backups, without symlinks #2051

Hello,

Thank you for this really great tool! The question I’m asking might seem a bit weird, given that it’s not exactly in the original philosophy of Mackup: I’m looking for a way to back up all my settings, but since I’ve been having a couple of issues with Mackup recently, I’m a bit scared to use it again in its original form. (For mysterious reasons, BetterTouchTool and Hazel started behaving weirdly, and it took me hours of debugging until I found out it came from Mackup.)

However, Mackup knows where the config files are, knows how to back them up, and so I thought maybe there’s a way of scheduling backups with Mackup, without the symlink part? It’s slightly less comfortable, but still extremely efficient, I guess? The scheduling would of course be done with OS tools, I would just use some switch in Mackup that would do, ideally versioned, backups of the settings of my programs.

Is this something, @lra, that you could envision?

All the best to you all!
