I want to back up several OS X machines to a Linux host but am concerned some of the HFS+ file system resource fork info will not get saved correctly. The Linux host filesystem is ext3 and below is the some of the output when I start the rdiff-backup process. As you can see the filesystem does not support "Mac OS X style resource forks". Is this going to be a problem, or is that information still save somehow so when I restore the files will be fine?
