  • Using Github to backup your XML files for kits, songs, and synths.

    alifeinbinaryalifeinbinary

    I was periodically backing up my SD card to my Dropbox but found the process to be cumbersome, since I only wanted to update the songs/synths/kits that had changed since the last backup instead of overwriting everything. Then I had the idea to use git to backup the XML files in the KITS/ SYTHNS/ and SONGS/ directories, since git is made for doing exactly this. I created a .gitignore file to ignore the /SAMPLES/ directory (this still gets stored on Dropbox/Nextcloud) and any hidden files the Deluge creates.

    .gitignore:
    /SAMPLES/*
    .*

    This is a much better solution as it saves a lot of time and worry during backup. Having version control for your sounds and songs is ideal in the event that you want to return to a previous version down the road. You could maintain separate branches for [production], [live] etc. Anyway, just thought I would share. Also, take this as a friendly reminder to backup your data!

    I have access to a laser cutter through my local makerspace. Would Synthstrom be willing to provide the necessary vector design files that would allow me to etch the labels onto the top panel?

    Hey @drbourbon,

    I found a bug in the app. I'm getting this output from the app:

    sent 58.63K bytes  received 10.63K bytes  138.52K bytes/sec
total size is 656.46M  speedup is 9478.22
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at /AppleInternal/Library/BuildRoots/a0876c02-1788-11ed-b9c4-96898e02b808/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/rsync/rsync/main.c(996) [sender=2.6.9]

/Users/andrew/Documents/Deluge-Backup/DELUGE_PROD
done!

    I cloned the repository and installed platypus, built and got an error which I was able to clear by changing line 3 in backup.sh to BACKUP_SCRIPT=./rsync_tmbackup.sh. After clearing that error I got this ^. I opened up the project and tried looking for any obvious reasons for the error but hit a dead end. How about you, any ideas what might be leading to the bug?
