Macs are supported using Rsync..you need to have version 2.5.5, it's distributed with RsyncX. You can grab a copy at http://www.macosxlabs.org/ I've found it useful to copy from a local harddrive to another local hard drive, but I haven't gotten it to work successfully to do a full system reinstall over the netwrok. It does preserve resource forks and all that stuff. If you're not sure what versyion you have just type "rsync --version" without the quotes and you'll see something that should say Rsync 2.5.5 HFS+ support by Kevin A. Boyd and list the creators of the original software. This version will support resource forks. -Tito
