Preserve resource forks during backups via tar and ftp
Sorry forgot the .gz extention.... New...
well...
if you really want to save bandwidth, you shouldn't backup tars via ftp but use rsync or unison. rsyncX and unison both support resource forks.
But what about backups to non Mac servers
The point of using a tar file is to save the resource fork within it even if you backup to a non MacOS X machine (i.e. even if you backup to Linux or Windows which don't support resource forks they are still saved within the tar).
But what about backups to non Mac servers
I think you will find that rsync under Tiger will backup resources to a non-Mac, it saves the extended data (resources and meta data) to ._ files, probably in exactly the same way that they are stored in the tar file. |
