DadCloner 0.1 Beta
Pre-release
Pre-release
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.
