Hi Bradley, Yes, I have tried both of what you mention and neither works. When I do: $ sudo port install p5-macosx-file I get: Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details) Log for p5-macosx-file is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-macosx-file/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
And the page: http://www.dan.co.jp/cases/macosx/psync.html doesn't give any instruction for Snow Leopard. Only Tiger, Panther, and Jaguar. It does give instruction to do it manually: > tar zxvf MacOSX-File-x.xx.tar.gz > cd MacOSX-File-x.xx > perl Makefile.PL > make > make test > sudo make install When I follow these steps, at 4th step (make), I get: Catalog.xs:181: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer Catalog.xs: In function ‘XS_MacOSX__File__Catalog_xs_setcatalog’: Catalog.xs:263: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast make[1]: *** [Catalog.o] Error 1 I have also looked at Time Machine, but I don't really like it. It generates so many incremental backup's. To me, just making the whole backup (level 0 in old lingo) as I see fit (and keeping the current and a previous copies) works much better. I wish I could get psync to work.

I followed Ryan's suggestion and got perl5 installed fine, but still can't execute psync. It complains as to File.pm missing. I no longer think this is perl issue. But googling psync this and that doesn't get me anything tangible. I am looking for a different backup software. Tena Regarding psync, did you install p5-macosx-file?$ sudo port install p5-macosx-file http://www.dan.co.jp/cases/macosx/psync.html Also, Time Machine works well for many.
