I do not what resource forks are. We do not have a Mac server and ultimately do not want one.

I've used it to back up Macs. It works quite well. You need to be aware of any files that might have resource forks because they won't be backed up properly with the regular rsync client. Apple's client supports resource forks, but as far as I know, it would have to go to an OS X server as well. I've not researched this fully because I had no resource forks in need of backup.

How well does BackupPC do with backing up Macs? All of the Macs are OS 10 or higher, which is just a variant of BSD. Has anyone done this?
 
We just bought a small company in another office that could use a BackupPC there. They have some Macs.
