I'm strongly considering using BackupPC in an almost all Mac OS X 10.4 organization. I've read in W. Curtis Preston's book Backup & Recovery that resource forks are very important to OS X functionality. BackupPC claims to support OS X and therefore I'm assuming that it handles resource forks correctly. If this isn't the case, I'd be interested in hearing how well restores go from people using backupPC in an OS X environment? If anyone using backupPC with OS X clients could help me understand that, I would be grateful. thanks for your time, Matthew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
