| description | Use when setting up daily macOS backup that overwrites rather than accumulates. |
Uses macOS native launchd scheduling to daily backup ~/.hermes and directories to a fixed location, overwriting each time without keeping history.
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.hermes.dailybackup.plist ← launchd schedule
~/.hermes/scripts/backup.sh ← backup script
~/Backups/Hermes-latest/ ← target location (overwrite each time)
