Show HN: Backup Scheduler

Cheap and dirty solution to backup a specific folder on macOS to S3. I use this to backup my Calibre library.

Brilliantly simple, and gets the job done. Could you add notes for how to restore from backup? (I know, I know... All I have to do is read S3's docs and figure out s3util or whatever, but I'm knee-deep in Lisp and would prefer to keep my precious remaining vacation time that way.)

Sure, added the docs here https://github.com/divyenduz/backup-scheduler#restore

Basically, you can just manually call the sync command with s3 bucket and local directory arguments in reverse or use aws s3 cp --recursive

Thanks!
