I usually tarball my stuff at work and throw it on my iDisk, but that's because it's all text files. For that matter, nearly everything I do is text. BUT -- this is a little off topic, but could someone point me to a resource describing which kinds of files need the special treatment? I run OS X only but I have heard that there are still some apps that use the dichotomous file structure. This way I know what I -can't- preserve with a little "gnutar -czf". Thanks, Erik
