For those who wonder if it works I can answer yes (not a surpise though as Mac
OS X is a true UNIX).
The config is:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarClientPath} = '/usr/bin/tar';
# home dirs are in /Users
$Conf{TarShareName} = '/Users';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['*/Movies/*', '*/Music/*', '*/Public/*',
'*/Sites/*'];
Just add the correct ssh key to the root user authorized_keys on the mac and
go for it :-) (don't forget to unable and secure the root account, and force
ssh protocol to V2)
I havent tested with rsync.
BTW, while it works fine with Mac OS X 10.3, I have troubles with Mac OS X
10.4. The mac freezes after a few giga of transfer. Of course BackupPC has
nothing to do in this freeze, but I wonder if anybody else has experienced
such freezes with Tigers when having high activity (cpu or network I don't
know).
