Hi, I am running BackupPC on 8 Debian linux machines backing up over 1500 Mac OSX 10.4 and 10.3 clients. Works great. I used tar as the transport with xtar on the clients to assure that I get the resource forks. The 10.4 tar should do resource forks, but 10.3 tar will not which is why I use xtar. Feel free to write me off the list with any additional questions you may have.
