HFS+ to non HFS+ volumes?
You mention that rsyncX backs up resource forks to non-hfs+ volumes. I've tried this over the network to a linux filesystem and have not succeeded in getting it to work.
What magic incantation did you use to do the trick? Also, what about hfs+ file attributes other than resource forks? Do they survive a "round trip" to non-hfs+ volumes? (Without such a round trip property, the backups would not be reliable, no?)
HFS+ to non HFS+ volumes?
In order for HFS+ to be supported, the Macosxlabs (Kevin A. Boyd) version of rsync must be installed on both computers being synced. Excerpt from rsyncX readme: In order for this version of rsync to work and preserve HFS+ permissions, at least this version of /usr/local/bin/rsync must be installed on every machine that will be involved in the rsync. Check by typing "rsync --version" on all machines before starting, if unsure. Please note however that while you gain some features by doing this (resource fork and HFS+ compatibliity), you also lose some features by dropping the native rsync. |
