hi all, until now, i am using rsync for backup on my mac os x tiger system. but i think, rdiff-backup could be a much better solution, so i tried it. i found some entries in this mailing-list and the rdiff-backup wiki regarding hfs and extended attributes, which should work so far.
i tried different backups (hfs -> hfs; hfs -> etx3 on linux). but in every case some things are lost, which are custom file- and folder-icons and custom color-labels. there *is* an "icon"-file in the backup, which is restored, but empty and not attached to any file or folder. i don't know, how these are saved (first i thought it would be in resource forks), and if these are accessible by the py-xattr-module. spotlight-comments *are* preserved for example. i tried this with "--carbonfile" and "--no-carbonfile". any ideas? btw: i tried this with rdiff-backup version 1.0.4 and 1.1.5, both installed by darwinports. ------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] jonas $ rdiff-backup -v 4 Desktop Desktop_backup Unable to import module posix1e from pylibacl package.
