10.4: Use rysnc to perform automatic backups

I would be careful of this hint for now... Rsync with the -E switch has been very unreliable for me so far in Tiger. See the following for more info: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=38604

10.4: Use rysnc to perform automatic backups
Authored by: atverd on May 16, '05 01:22:47PM

I'd strongly advise to avoid rsync from 10.4 too. With option -E it will always copy files with forks even if they not changed and this makes it practically useless. This is easy to see if you add -v into command line. I've opened bug on Apple's bug report page for this - may be they'll fix it with 10.4.1. So far stay with RsyncX.

I have found some issues also with Tiger's rsync and tar commands. I posted the details on the apple discussions.

I hope that link works. I am curious if anyone else has different results. If I am not doing something wrong, this really disappoints me. Apple is claiming these specific utilites will work.
