Re: [BackupPC-users] OSX support

[Chris K. <kac...@co...>]

Richard,

It depends.  If the server and client are Mac than you can use xtar or 
rsync with the hfs patches.  If your server is not a mac, you must use 
xtar.  I am using it on 5 workstations with a linux server as a demo now 
and plan to have 1500 workstations on it (multiple servers) by the end 
of the year.  With xtar the only issue I have had is saving files with 
special characters (e.g. tm marks that adobe uses), but I think this may 
be because I am using the jfs file system on the linux machine.

cheers,

ski
