Hello, I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, but for some reason I can't find the information I need. I have searched this mailing list and the web.
I have backuppc installed and have backed up a linux system without problems. However, when testing the backup and restore of a folder on Mac OS X, the resource forks are not being backed up or restored. I've tested this by adding spotlight comments and also using a shortcut that has a special icon. These extras are not restored in my test. I've used both rsync and tar. I read that the -E argument adds support for extended attributes. I've tried -E and --extended-attributes as options, but backuppc (or the backup client) seems to hang and not do anything when I specify this option. I'm using backupPC version 3.0.0 on ubuntu server gutsy kernel 2.6.20-16-server. The OS X client that I'm testing the backups on is OS X Server 10.4.11. I installed backuppc using ubuntu's package manager (aptitude from the command line) and I'm attempting to configure backuppc from its web interface. thanks for any help you can give.
