Greetings, I have read through all the posts regarding the ongoing quest for the best OS X connection method for BackupPC. However, I have been unable to find the definitive post that answers the question. The closest I could find to an answer was in this post: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11643276
However that post is almost a year old, and things may have changed since then for OS X (10.4.5). As far as I can tell, this seems to be the consensus: - xtar on OS X works for preserving resource forks, but sometimes has issues with giving files the directory attribute in BackupPC. - tar on OS X may work(?) or is expected to work in the near future with BackupPC. Status uncertain... has this changed? - hfstar has been reported to work, but I have read reports of problems (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10490843) - It does not sound like Rsync works at all? What about Rsyncd? Sorry to bring this issue up again. Hopefully there is someone out there who can expand on this.
