Hello,

I'm interesting in backing up an OS X client using Amanda. I've already
read a couple of useful posts on this topic:

http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/support/amandaonosx.txt
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/40315

Both noted some problems and work arounds with using dump and restore,
and the later recommended using "gnutar".

I was surprised that neither mentioned "hfstar" which declares that it
would work well with Amanda for backing up HFS volumes:

Has anyone tried a backup and restore of an HFS volume with hfstar in the 
context of
Amanda?

Thanks!
