Hi,
I'm not sure what the problem is but after reinstalling OS X on my

As most of you are probably already aware: spotlight comments are stored
per directory in the .DS_Store file.
I also experimented some more with xtar and found that all the resource

You might want to just use good ole' tar in 10.4. It will preserve
resource forks (unlike rsync) by creating AppleDouble files inside the
tar archive.
You might also want to disable ACLs if by some odd chance you have them
enabled. Here is what I use with modest success:

I just got a shiny old G3 and would like to add it to my Backup PC
pool. However, I'm not sure what would be the best protocol to use for
