A summary hint of rsync-related information
Authored by: escowles on Jul 21, '03 04:14:55PM

I've also been toying around with tar and rsync (and their hfs-aware counterparts) for a while, now. In the end, I don't want to use some forked version of rsync -- if it's stable, it should be merged into the main rsync tree, if it isn't, I'm not using it for my backups.

In the end, I decided to use vanilla rsync for my main (daily) backups, and live with losing resource forks. Most of my documents and other frequently-changing files don't need resource forks anyway. For the apps and system files that do need resource forks, I make backups to DVD-R monthly or so.
