Re: [BackupPC-users] Using backuppc on a Mac

I use rsync 3.0.6 on my macs and it work perfectly and very stable and reliable.

I recommend using 3.0.6 because of stability. 2.9.6 had a problem on filesystems with too many hard links on it (memory allocation problem)

Check this out:

installing rsync 3.0.6 on a Mac Leopard (requires compilation with Xcode)

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?
