A summary hint of rsync-related information
Authored by: krishna on Aug 31, '03 02:50:34AM

I've used Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030529054605961) to make a verified bootable, (apparently) clean backup of my TiBook G4 MacOSX 10.2 boot drive to an external firewire drive.

I plan to use the external drive as my primary drive for a few weeks to verify that the backup is completely clean. I also plan to use CCC's psync integration to keep my laptop drive in sync with the external drive. I'd like to use rsync_hfs after the first CCC run (since it seems to be 20-30% faster than psync), but I expect to use this setup as a reliable backup mechanism once I verify that it's clean (at which point I'll fully vouch for CCC).
