10.4: Create simple backups with SSH and Spotlight
Authored by: luhmann on Oct 26, '05 07:31:47AM
This discussion has very good instructions for passwordless login using SSH keychain. I'm wondering about this script. Will it perserve all the OSX recourse forks that often get lost on UNIX systems?

As it stands, I don't think so. Down at the bottom of the script, you need to change the parts that read ...'scp "%s"... to ...'scp -E "%s"....

10.4: Create simple backups with SSH and Spotlight

That'll work if both ends are OS X. In my case, they aren't.

The intent of the script is to preserve data and documents and mp3s and photos and stuff on a daily basis with low load. Apps and such will break. Sorry. :) They're much more replacable anyway.
