Use Apple Backup to backup hidden files
Authored by: hangon on Jan 12, '04 12:02:37PM

Hmmm...i've tried that...but it only works for files you have the permission to....

And Some of the critical files of my system belong to root....and it seems that Backup is not cappable of asking u the root password when he needs it....


CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY apple DOESNT MAKE BACKUP AS A GUI FOR rsync??????????


rsync is fast...reliable...and handle permissions...

open terminal and type "sudo open /Applications/Backup.app" hit return after you enter your password, Backup will run with root permissions
