How do I create a automated file backup script?

I need a backup script to move files  from the MAC to Google Drive everyday at a certain time.  I tried using automator to create a calendar flow but it does not run when I set it up in calendar.  Can someone provide me a simple script template with Apple script or tell me how to do this?

How are you backing up?   The Automator Calendar alarm should work.  Test with Automator first by creating a Workflow, then see if it works within Automator when you click "Run"

  • How can I create an Excel file?

    Hi,
    How can I create an Excel file using Forms 6i.
    What I'm doing is to create a file using TEXT_IO package an name it .XLS. If a read it double-clicking over the file, it opens Ok but If I open directly from Excel it opens the Convert dialog.
    I need to create an excel file as it was made from within Excel.
    Thank in advance,
    Benjamin

    When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
    Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
    Type
    man du
    when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
    Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder.   To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path.  If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help.    If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory.  That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

  • How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?

    How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
    Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.

    May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
    If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
    Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
    Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
    Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
    The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
    Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
    I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete.

  • How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
    Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

    Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
    to it you need to create a local variable.

  • How I can create a XML file from java Aplication

    How I can create a XML file from java Aplication
    whith have a the following structure
    <users>
    <user>
    <login>anyName</login>     
    <password>xxxx</password>
    </user>
    </users>
    the password label must be encripted
    accept any suggestion

    Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
    Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
    1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
    write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
    bingo you have a flat file with the xml
    2. Use data binding to do the trick
    will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

  • How do I create a pdf file that is 300 dpi in Adobe Acrobat XI?

    How do I create a pdf file that is 300 dpi in Adobe Acrobat XI?

    PDF files do not have a "resolution" - they aren't images. The pages are a mix of vector art and text, and raster (pixel-based) graphics. The raster items on a page can (and often do) have different resolutions.

  • How do I create individual xml files from the parsed data output of a xml file?

    I have written a program (DOM Parser) that parses data from a XMl File. I would like to create an individual file with the corresponding name for each set of data parsed from the xml document. If the parsed output is Single, Double, Triple, I would like to create an individual xml file (Single.xml, Double.xml, Triple.xml)with those corresponding names. How do I create the xml files and give each file the name of my parsed data output? Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How we can create the batch file to download the data in from URL in ssis

    hi,
    any one help on one the below requirement.
    i have to create one batch file to download the report(reports is in csv format) from URL...
    requirement should be like this...
    1. we have some reports is there in the URL..
    2.when ever we execute the url, the report should be download and save it to the local folder.
    3. this requirement i have to write in the batch file
    should any one let me know how we can create the batch file for the above requirement.

    Hi Priya.N,
    If you use SQL Server Reporting Services for reporting, you can use Visakh’s suggestion to create a script file which calls Reporting Services Web Service to render a report in CSV format and save a batch file to the destination folder, and then create a
    batch file to run the rs.exe utility which can executes the .rss script file. For more information, please see:
    Report Server Web Service
    ReportExecutionService.Render Method
    rs Utility (rs.exe) (SSRS)
    If you use other reporting tools, it depends on the reporting functionality and this requirement may be not achieved.

  • How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

    C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
    I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
    I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
    Rune Brattas

    You cannot create a Form from code at run time. 
    For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have  a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything.  (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
    need), but that's another story).
    You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application.  IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
    prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control.  If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
    The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

  • How can we create the DBC file?

    Hi all,
    I am attempting to run the test_fwktutorial.jsp within the toolbox.jws/Tutorial.jpr project in Jdeveloper . We have to provide the Oracle application DB connection in the project properties ( we have to provide this as a DBC file) . How can we create the dbc file from the Database connection ? i tried to export the DB connection in Jdev , but it is getting exported to xml file rather than dbc file . Please help to fix this.

    Yes, you can do that.
    Put both the DBC files under dbc_files\secure folder.
    You can change the dbc files from project settings and point to the desired file.
    I am not sure, but maybe you need to stop JDevloper and start again for the new DBC file to take effect.

    There's probably a graphic on one of your pages that is causing a postscript division error (i.e. divide by zero?) See also: PostScript error offending command div
    As Jeff suggests, track down the errant graphic to see what's wrong. If you print to file, you should get an idea of roughly where in the docs the error occurs by watching the print thermometer display.
