Hi,
I'm beginning to use rdiff-backup on mac os x. I'd like to backup to an
externaly mounded volume (via samba on a remote win xp).
I'm getting:
Warning: hard linking not supported by filesystem at /Volumes/
prometeo.local
Hi there,
rdiff-backup has a "--no-hard-links" switch to avoid that.
However, problems with fsync on smb mounts is probably going to kill
you, just as it did me and others. See the thread called:
rdiff-backup + smbfs = :'(
See e.g. here for two workarounds:
http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/FsyncErrorError
The first one requiring an unauthorized patch to the code, and the other
using another filesystem in a file on the windows mount.
I know that OS X is FreeBSD underneath, so I don't know exactly what
you'll run into, but that has been my experience on Linux.
As it is right now, I don't think rdiff-backup works from Linux or Unix
with windows mounts out-of-the-box.
