Backup Progress and Resume Fix | Generated by AI
Good data. The fix_backup2.sh is already on the Mac. Here’s the situation:
======================================================================== STATUS ========================================================================
Projects: 47/47 COMPLETE ✓
Pictures: PARTIAL — needs resume Already backed up: - small items ($RECYCLE.BIN, Camera Roll, scans, etc.) - originals/0: 311 files (1.3G) - originals/1: 322 files (1.9G) - originals/2: 291 files (1.6G) - originals/3: 328 files (1.9G) - originals/4: 140 files (557M) ← was mid-transfer when timed out - originals/5-F: EMPTY (not started)
Remaining: ~3,496 files, ~24GB (originals 4-9, A-F + private + resources + database)
======================================================================== FIX_BACKUP2.SH — on MacBook at ~/fix_backup2.sh ========================================================================
What it does differently from fix_backup.sh:
- Transfers Photos library by subdirectory (not one giant rsync)
- Each subdir is 1-3GB (won’t timeout)
- Uses –partial + –inplace so interrupted transfers RESUME
- ServerAliveInterval=15 keeps SSH alive
- Skips already-complete subdirs automatically (rsync checksum)
Run on MacBook: bash ~/fix_backup2.sh
If any single subdir times out, just run it again — rsync will pick up where it left off thanks to –partial.
Estimated time: ~1-2 hours for the remaining 24GB.
