/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh
The referenced trash item, /bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh was last accessed
july 19 (in properties) the same date of my last backup file #20 what do
you think put it in the file system and let it rip? The numbered
files13-17 i imagine identify the previous backup up numbered files
corresponding to that on the external drive,i haven't checked if the
external referenced files have content (aside: my backup up external
disk was connected to the computer,relevant?). the presenting problem
manifested by an intermediate "file" flashing on for a fractional
second. i have restored the original icon when i initially copied the
icon content it contained: /rsnapshotBackup.sh that same code content.
what I find missing is the parapathetic flash then disapear page. which
when pressing a small bar which then began the external save.
Jason, who seems to be on hiatus, originally installed intalled aBackup,
which speaks to its merit. Searching independently I could find no
supporting text for aBackup. Akkana thanks for your interest.
