Because I had to figure this out for some work and then fleshed it out for my own needs, and because it took a lot of time, and, furthermore, it will save somebody some trouble, somewhere, I've documented how to automate remote backups of important documents to a server using OS X. http://wiki.lividinstruments.com/index.php?title=Automated_remote_backup_on_OS_X This will guarantee as best as possible that you won't lose all your important work due to catastrophe, theft, or forgetfulness. Criticisms and additions are welcome! Peter
