Rule doesn't copy folder [SOLVED] Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:08 am • by Danny Wyatt
I have this rule:

and it's supposed to copy from the top location/window to the bottom:

Source's path:
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

Destination's path:
~/My Files/Backups/iPhone Backups

It's simply not working. Since it's a large folder, I waited a few minutes, no luck.

I tried on a different folder I have just for Hazel tests and it worked, even though it took like 1 minute, but it worked. For this I was just copying the folder from one folder inside the Tests folder to another folder also inside the Tests folder.

I even tried copying the folder from the ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup folder to my Hazel tests where I have a rule to copy to the ~/My Files/Backups/iPhone Backups folder and it also worked.

So the issue here seems to be from ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup to ~/My Files/Backups/iPhone Backups as all the other options work. Am I missing something here? Do I need to unlock anything when it comes to that source's path or something?

Those folders are protected by the OS. Have you given Hazel full disk access?
