I have been using backuppc to backup win-boxes onto a Linux server using cygwin rsync running on the win-boxes. Now I am trying to use backuppc on some Macs (OS X), but I am having difficulty get it to work. There have been some comments that rsync is not a good option for the Mac due to its file system. Is this still valid? Is anyone able to point me to a good source of information about using backuppc with the Mac?

On a second point, do the machine based config files in the pc directory over-rule the config.pl file? For example can I use rsync on the win-boxes and tar for the Macs by specifying this in the machine configuration files?
