In the current release, resource forks definitely don't work, but extended attributes should work at least to the extent that they're covered by file flags or posix1e. More complete support will come once I update Tarsnap to use a newer version of libarchive, but that's currently not my top priority. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
