June 21, 20197 yr I use timemachine to backup a couple of Macs on my network to a share on Unraid. This works flawlessly, but because of my limited scripting skills, I'm struggling to automate the (one way) sync from the share to the external hard drive once it is plugged into the USB port. I currently manually run the two following lines from terminal and the output is satisfactory, albeit a little time consuming rsync -vgloptruc "/mnt/user/TimeMachineShare/Mac1 iMac.sparsebundle" /mnt/disks/TMB1 rsync -vgloptruc "/mnt/user/TimeMachineShare/Mac2.sparsebundle" /mnt/disks/TMB1 Ideally, I would just like to be able to plug the drive in, the above sync runs and then the disk unmounts on completion. At this stage I do not feel that I need to be notified of the completed job, as I'll just see the disk as unmounted in the Main menu. I've looked around here and other places to try to find a solution, but I really don't know where to start. My attempts to copy similar solutions have resulted in the ext hdd not mounting and getting stuck in a loop.
