Create daily backups on an encrypted disk image
Authored by: roncross@cox.net on May 18, '04 02:45:05AM

Again if you have GBytes of information, you do not have to backup to an iDisk and pay the high cost for storage. You can also use backup to save to an external disk, dvd, etc...

I am not recommending that people pay a thousand dollars to back up their critical information. The main thing about backing up is to preserve file permission, ownership, modification date.

From what I understand, backing up HFS files and older MAC files using a unix script may not preserve file permission, ownership, modification dates.

Maybe the author of the script can speak to this issue of file permission.

thx
