[QUOTE="noah_swanson, post: 987087, member: 141464"] I recently had the catastrophic hard drive failure on my laptop. I now have a huge external drive that I use for TimeMachine on my Desktop and my Laptop. In order to save space backing up I want to exclude the applications folder and simply have a text file generated that will list all of the installed apps (and version-if possible). Then I would have this text file backed up instead of the xxGB sized applications folder. Would this be easiest if done in a shell script, apple script, maybe automator can help? Has anyone else done this? Any ideas? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
