The problem: creating "TimeMachine-like" snapshots of changed files to a NAS device that is not TimeMachine-compatible.

Caveats with this solution: file permissions will not be maintained in the backup copies.

BASH script for removing JPEG sidecar files

Mon, 2012/07/02 - 3:18pm

This necessitates shooting RAW+JPG, but I have no use for the JPEGs in post-processing.
