Hello all, I must backup a few OS X machines (10.3, 10.4, 10.5) on a linux BackupPC server. Theses machines are not on the same network than the BackupPC server, and so I must backup them using an internet connection.
I have a few questions regarding the best method to use. - When tar makes full backups, does-it transfer everything even afer the first full backup ? Internet connection being really slow, this is not really an option... - If it does, is it the same with Rsync ? Or with Rsync only the first full backup transfers everything ? - With rsync, is there some ressource forks / filename problems for OS X / Linux transfers ? - If I use tar, and if tar does transfer everything with each full backup, is it possible to have only one yearly full backup, and 52 weekly incremental backups ? does it sound like a good idea ? Many thanks for your help, and sorry for languages mistakes, english is not my primary language, doing my best ;) Best regards, Stephane Dupont ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
