2-way-sync with an external HD Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:04 pm • by eoagej
Hi!

I`m trying to make an automated 2-way-sync with my external HD and one partition in my Mac.
Every week I connect via USB my external HD with my name in it's name.
How can I activate Hazel to make a sync when it is connected?

Thanks

Hazel doesn't have any built-in 2-way sync capability. Even in version 3, the sync will be one-way only.

If you are doing this via a script, just make sure it returns an error if the drive isn't connected. Hazel will retry until it succeeds.

Hi Mr Noodle,

Thanks for taking the time to answering it. I was planning to do via script with rsync.
