I'm running 3.0.0 and noticed that Mac OSX clients take way longer to do an incremental backup that I would expect given how many files have changed. I dug around in the logs and found that tar on the mac copies extended attributes as ._filename files and totally ignores the --newer flag when doing so. The means that all extended attributes are copied every time. Further research shows that extended attributes don't actually have any timestamp and apple tar just assumes the current time. Does anybody have a work around for this? Unfortunately rsync is not an option because it doesn't store extended attributes at all (the apple -E flag just causes backuppc to hang). john |
