@mikecerisano mikecerisano released this 25 May 15:17

Initial public beta for Apple Silicon Macs.

This release is signed, notarized, stapled, and includes the DadCloner app icon: old man plus hard drive, because that is the app.

Changes in this beta:

  • Scheduled external-drive backups with source/backup drive UUID checks.
  • Deleted source files are preserved under DadCloner_Archive instead of being deleted from the backup.
  • Backup safety hardening: free-space preflight, visible failure state, catch-up sync after missed schedules, and safer rsync behavior.
  • Menu bar status reflects drive and sync state more accurately.
  • GitHub README and project metadata explain the use case, limitations, and beta status.

Known beta notes:

  • Apple Silicon only for now because the bundled rsync helper is arm64.
  • Test with non-critical folders/drives before trusting it with irreplaceable data.
