You need to use a local backup utility that's resource fork aware. There's a program 'hfstar' that is a port of GNU tar that's aware of resource forks. I've used it with amanda and it's superficially ok, although I get some error messages from hfstar while running AMANDA dumps that I have not delved to the bottom of yet. I put my working notes at: http://web.brandeis.edu/pages/view/Bio/AmandaMacOSXCompileNotes I will try to update them later this weekend after poking around the log files to dig out the errors I've been getting.
