I compiled rsync 3.0.7 on a machine, but the -E option doesn't seems
to work with backuppc.
Without this option, when I restore a file, I lose the preview icon
and file type descriptions in the OsX file explorer, so it's kinda
annoying and I choosed to used tar (with tar, it save two files for
each file, and when you restore the two files, it's all ok)
