You might want to just use good ole' tar in 10.4. It will preserve resource forks (unlike rsync) by creating AppleDouble files inside the tar archive. You might also want to disable ACLs if by some odd chance you have them enabled. Here is what I use with modest success:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host' . ' /usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE=t rue $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+' . ' --totals' . ' --one-file-system'; brien Randy Barlow wrote: > I just got a shiny old G3 and would like to add it to my Backup PC > pool.
