These are the things that aren't done, according to my reading of that document and perusing the psync source: - blessing the appropriate system folders. It looks like the "bless" command can tell you what's currently blessed, so this probably wouldn't be difficult to replicate when doing the backup. - unlocking files if necessary before copying (although I've never found this to be a problem) - *not* backing up a few directories that are recreated by OSX on bootup; psync does ignore a few, but is still doing (all relative to /): Volumes/ Network/ etc/ (!) cores automount/ .vol/ mach mach.sym Cleanup At Startup/ File Transfer Folder/ Trash/ None of these are, I believe, serious. (Although I'll admit that not re-blessing has caused me a couple of headaches.) -- John Labovitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.johnlabovitz.com
