Hi,
The attached patch against the rdiff-backup CVS adds support for
preserving the Mac OS X 'Creation Date' field across backups.
The patch works by saving the Creation Date in the rdiff-backup metadata
and then setting it upon file restore. Like with other Mac OS X file
data, it sets the creation date on the backup copy if the underlying
filesystem supports it.
Cheers,
Andrew
