You guys > are also the smartest around :D Rsync on the Mac only opens and copies the data forks. It does not copy the resource forks. There are still a few applications that use resource forks. Likewise the checksum apps work on the data forks only. There is a utility that is a modified rsync that does handle resource forks. I no longer remember what its name is. Its been a number of years since I last used it. I normally rsync from FreeBSD systems to Mac systems. I use Minis as off-site backups. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
