Hi Randall,

How did you get it to work? I had trouble getting cpan to install File::MacOS and I put it out to the group and nobody offered a way to get it to compile.

Yesterday, I tried using rsync to backup locally. It worked fine for my home directory, it started writing files after maybe 10 seconds of building a list. Then I tried it for / and it was building directories for about 2 1/2 hours and I killed it, not having wrote a single file. My disk is 30G and I am using about 20G.

The backup program that came with the Seagate drive backed up the whole thing in about 45 minutes without a problem, but I still like psync better.

Joe.

I'm still using psync every day on Tiger.  What are you saying?
