What is the content of your ~/.mackup.cfg
?
Old mac (now using it again, ...)
[storage]
engine = google_drive
New Mac
[storage]
engine = google_drive
Hmmm... Nothing special there. I was hoping there'd be something obvious like an environment variable or a hardcoded value.
Have you verified that the directory is available on your computer? Like ~/Google Drive/Mackup
has been synced by Backup and Sync from Google?
You mentioned reinstalling Mackup - have you tried that? Assuming you used Homebrew:
brew reinstall mackup
Is it possible to change the engine afterwards? I see some .plist files being symlinked to a Google Drive folder, which I no longer want use for syncing.
Yup. Change your configuration file and save it, then restart mackup and run ‘mackup backup’
I suggest you run mackup uninstall
before switching engines, so it unlink all the linked files it knows about.
I got a new iMac, and I changed to the new iMac via help of migration assistent (which copies over my programs and other data). When I enter "mackup backup" now, I get the following error:
How can I fix that? Maybe reinstall mackup completely?
