[QUOTE="Brooklynguy, post: 1539978, member: 218684"] Et Al: (Hoping this hasn't been posted twice by myself.) Instead of using Time Machine for this, I want to backup my iTunes epubs and audiobooks into a dmg file (Books.dmg) on a usb stick (MEDIA LIB 1). Using Disk Utility I created Books.dmg with read/write properties. I am working tediously (newbie at this) with Applescript to check the modificaton dates on Books.dmg as well as the epubs in iTunes. If the epub has a date later than the one for Books.dmg, this would add that epub into the appropriate Author folder in Books.dmg. Now, I know i refer to a folder (in Applescript-speak) as [I][COLOR="Blue"]folder[/COLOR][/I] [B]"Books"[/B]. What do I use for MEDIA LIB 1 and Books.dmg? I have tried things like volume, disk image, folder, and some others, to no avail. How do i refer to them? BG [/QUOTE]
