Run automated backups to a UNIX server
Authored by: jhintzman on Jan 18, '06 01:51:24PM

I notice you are not using the extended attributes (-E) option to rsync. This means that rsync will not copy resource forks. I've had huge problems with the -E options to rysnc - the program crashes, and all the resource forks get copied all the time.

Anyone else see this behavior with rsync? What's the impact to user files if you skip the extended attributes? How can I tell which files have them and which ones I care about?
