10.5: One way to back up locally-synced .Mac iDisks

It is a really good idea to include the -E parameter with rsync on OS X. The -E option causes rsync to copy over all the various forms of metadata that Spotlight uses, the resource forks of the file, and so on. This is pretty much always a good idea on a Mac. To do so, replace -a with -aE in the command given in this hint.

Thanks for that. I've changed it on mine.
