I have now installed xtar on my test backup client, but it does not seem
to make any difference. Spotlight comments are still not present in the
backup or restore.
Here's the test client configuration:
---------------$ cat /etc/backuppc/infotech-laptop.cono.pl
$Conf{TarClientPath} = '/usr/bin/xtar';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = [
'/Users/matthew/Desktop/pics'
];
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l matthew $host env LC_ALL=C
$tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';
$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l matthew $host env
LC_ALL=C $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C
$shareName+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/Users/matthew/Desktop/pics'
];
