Hazel Auto-Backup Rul Mon Jan 26, 2026 2:43 am • by Aarona
Hi everyone,

I’m a relatively new Hazel user and I’ve run into a problem that I can’t seem to figure out. I set up a rule in Hazel to automatically back up important files to an external hard drive. However, I’ve noticed that some files are not being backed up correctly, and a few seem to be missing altogether.

I double-checked the rule and confirmed that the path to the backup folder is correct. Despite that, no files are being transferred to that folder. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? What steps should I take to troubleshoot this? Is there a way to monitor or check if Hazel is executing my rules as intended?

Thanks!!!
Aarona
