[Burp-users] OS X Extended Attributes

[Joe R. <li...@jo...>]

Hello!

I’m a new BURP user.  After years of wrestling with Bacula, I find BURP’s feature set and simplicity extremely enticing.  The word that keeps coming to mind is “elegant”.  Thanks for all the work you’ve put in!

It seems with OS X clients, BURP doesn’t backup any extended attributes, such as ACL’s, resource forks, etc.  Unfortunately with even one Mac on the network,  I can’t use BURP.  There are too many legacy files on OS X that become useless without resource forks.  (Fonts are one that comes to mind.)  So I am still using Bacula in these cases.

Are there any plans to add this?   I don’t have much coding experience, or I’d attempt to do so myself.  Perhaps support could be ported from the Bacula client?

Thanks again!
