Install rdiff-backup for incremental backups
Does rdiff-backup handle extended attributes and resource forks, like the -E option in MacOS-10.4's broken rsync, or the --eahfs option in rsyncx? What is the advantage of rdiff-backup over rsyncx?

Not sure of the advantage that rdiff-backup provides over rsync, but it does support HFS+ resource forks and extended attributes. Check here:
rdiff-backup Features.
Toward the bottom of the page it notes that it does support HFS+.
support of resource forks, access control lists etc.
From the website (http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/index.html):
Re: benefits over rsync
rdiff-backup uses librsync, but rdiff-backup has the benefit of maintaining a version history. Every time rdiff-backup runs, it keeps track of changes to files and the date/time of the backup. Thus, you can retrieve the latest backup copy of a file, or you can grab a copy of the file as it existed at some other time in the past.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the version that DarwinPorts installed for me is 0.12.7, which does not have the features you all speak of (resource forks were added in 0.13.0 according to the changelog). So maybe using Fink is a better option (it's unstable package is at 1.0.x I believe). That's what I'm on to try tonight...

Someone made a special patch for rdiff-backup to handle resource forks and whatnot prior to version 0.13.0. I'm pretty sure those were compiled into the DarwinPorts packages because I remember reading it somewhere...

Actually, I just tested this with my DarwinPorts installed rdiff-backup, and NO, IT DOES NOT DO RESOURCE FORKS.

I tried the latest from fink (which turned out to be 0.13.6), but it fails to run with some cryptic errors. Oh well... |
