Backup GitHub Repositories of interest to a local disk drive
#!/bin/bash
#############################################################
# sync_github_repos
#
# Very simple Bash script to run from cron that will synchronize
# a repository from github.com to our NFS backup disk
# (automounted here as /nfs/netbackups/gitbackups). This will
# also pull the wiki repository, if there is one. We can't pull
# the issues with this script because the GitHub API requires
# a username and password, and we prefer using SSH key authentication.

Prune Apple OS X Time Machine backups
#!/bin/bash
#############################################################################
# Bash script to delete some number of Apple OS X
# Time Machine (TM) backups, always keeping a minimum number. The goal
# is to rely on the _tmutil_ utility instead of physically accessing
# the files directly ... in hopes that this is less likely to corrupt
# the Time Machine database.
#
# Defaults are set to delete up to 5 backups, and keep a minimum of 5
#
