Hi Guys, I've found that backing up Mac OS X hosts is failing, if the remote rsync receives the option '--D', which (according to the linux man page) is the same as '--devices --specials'. The --specials option seems to be not understood by the MacOSX rsync, causing backuppc to fail with 'Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)'
However, replacing --D with --devices, only (omitting --specials) will start the backup of the Apple. Although I don't know what omitting the --specials will cause, I'd like to suggest considering to change --D to --devices, so that Macs can be easily supported. Thanks for developing backuppc in the first place!!! -- Marcus Hardt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
