RE: Network backup question
Authored by: greebly on May 18, '04 02:27:15PM

2nd note: Let me reiterate again, trying to store UNIX files on a windows file server is a disaster waiting to happen if you are trying to make a completely recoverable file. The best way to do this would be to make a tar backup (or a dmg image or something like it) and save that file on the windows server. Permissions and such will be lost in a file copy style backup (like rsync, rdiff, etc.) and if you're only wanting to backup document files and such, that's not going to be a problem. A full restore, however, would be messed up beyond belief.

the native Tar and zip are not hfs aware either. however, you can use the new apple zip-archive feature and transport that. (dont expand it on the remote file system or you may lose the meta data)
