  Automatically exclude development dependencies from Apple Time Machine backups

I have found that Asimov alleviates this issue.

I wrote a tiny blurb about it here:

• tmutils

  2 26 6.4 Shell

  Time Machine utilities for Mac to import a backup history, mark individual snapshot directories as valid for the current computer, and deduplicate files in parallel directories (e.g., between snapshot directories).

Most Time Machine weirdness comes down to metadata mismatches after migrating from machine to machine.

I made some fairly simple shell scripts to help fix these issues.

  command-line utility for restoring from Arq backups

People who want something similar may want to look at Arq [1]. Similar to restic, it provides incremental encrypted backups to most cloud providers (or a machine with SSH). But it is a Mac app, making it easy to configure and maintain. I never had issues with data corruption so far.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them, just a happy user for 9 years.
