Hi Dan,
If you have some hardware lying around I encourage you to test out zfs
dedupe. nexenta core3 alpha2 and opensolaris b129 both have it and it is
very nice.
Hmm, thanks for the report - it's great to hear you were able to get
it working and see some good results.
I've thought about
Hi,
I assume BackupPC_zipCreate read the files from the numbered dump and write
them local into a .zip file. This local .zip file will be transfered to the
destination.
I can't find out where this local .zip file is located.
Is my assumption wrong?

I've been doing backups with BackupPC for quite a few years, mainly backing up

I've recently installed BackupPC at the office and am backing up 6 servers

around a year of data, which is close to

How well does BackupPC do with backing up Macs? All of the Macs are OS 10 or
higher, which is just a variant of BSD. Has anyone done this?
We just bought a small company in another office that could use a BackupPC
there. They have some Macs.

Hi Chris,
The storage will be iSCSI (over gigabit), and offsite backups will be done via
an archive done once a week. Does that sound sane?

Chris,
It works great for macs. I backup over 1500 workstations (about 8TB of
data total) to 10 backuppc servers and get about a 50% reduction in
data. The one trick is to use xtar on the macs to be sure you get the
resource forks.

I've used it to back up Macs. It works quite well. You need to be aware of
any files that might have resource forks because they won't be backed up
properly with the regular rsync client. Apple's client supports resource
forks, but as far as I know, it would have to go to an OS X server as well.

I find in my setup the Macs are backed up very slowly compared to the
other Linux systems. It's so bad that there must be something I can

I am currently doing 5 Macs using rsync over ssh and not having any

Chris,
Resource forks are where the Mac OS stores key information about a file.
For example if a word file does not have an extension such as .doc,
then then Mac looks in the resource fork to figure out that it is a word
file. For older Mac programs, other items were stored in the resource
