A detailed walkthrough on creating backups using rsync
FWIW, Panther uses rsync version 2.5.6 protocol version 26.
A detailed walkthrough on creating backups using rsync
I just learned that. Yes, Panther installs rsync 2.5.6. Unfortunately this version also does not support HFS+! If you try copying a file with a resource fork using this version, you will lose the resource fork, corrupting the file. Try it with a text clipping.
Despite the newer version on Panther, you need to install the patched rsync 2.5.5 distribution that has support for HFS+.

Also - I don't believe the version installed by Fink is HFS+ aware.

I really like the script posted above and the info at mikerubel is also excellent. I will be implementing these strategies on my Linux server... but this is MacOSXHints. I am not so sure that these scripts have much value in OS X unless you are SURE that everything you are backing up is w/o resource forks. I mean you may be able to get a rsync HFS+ running with these scripts, but the cp command is still gonna kill you and strip any resource forks. Is there something that could be substituted with the same functionality as cp (hard-links, etc) in these scripts along with an HFS+ aware rsync to make these scripts completely OS X safe?
