# Version 1.0 for Mac OS
# Script Tested on:
# Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 on 17/1/2019	[ OK ]

# Note: If you server sleep timer is not set to zero, the server will potentially sleep
# at some point during backup.
# To avoid this run the shell script using caffeinate command
# caffeinate -i "path/to/script"
#This will ensure the script runs uninterupted and does not require using pmset command
