are you SURE?? Every OSX backup I do is a FULL backup courtesy of

I had the tiny and fast backups that we all love dirvish for.
Daily backup sets were quite small, especially since I switched to
Mail.app and didn't backup the whole mail archive every time as with
Thunderbird pseudo-mbox.
The whole affair took about a minute a day of real time for
incrementals.
This didn't start with Tiger.9 either. I'd guess I had this running
at least since .7...
The exact command I used was fixed in the key (obvious security
reasons), so I still have it:
rsync --server --sender -vlHogDtprx --numeric-ids . /Users/my-home
which rsync => the standard Apple rsync in /usr/bin.
My home is a Filevault, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't help; if
anything, the opposite. ;)
Hope that helps. If your problems persist, feel free to contact me on-
list or off-list, depending on direct relevance.
His wife's laptop (Windows XP Pro) doesn't do the job, neither
with the rsync from cwRsync nor with the current Cygwin version
(2.6 series)
Have you thought about doing an smbmount of an smb share and
backing up the data that way?
For a short while we pondered it, yes - but that would completely
destroy the benefits from rsync, and potentially kill the hardlink-
detection. I'd really like to get it running as it /should/ work.
Yours, Bernd
