[macosx-unix] amanda backup

[Jan Schaumann]

Hi all,

So how are people doing regular automated backups of their HFS and HFS+
filesystems?  I set up amanda, but notice that dump(8) can't dump these
partitions.  tar(8) doesn't preserve resource forks.  So Apple ships
their BSD derived OS with tools that can't backup the normal standard
filesystem.  Brilliant.  (Does dump(8) even dump apple UFS
filesystems?)

Does Mac OS X have other tools that can create a proper backup of a
filesystem?

I've found hfstar and hfspax, which seem suitable for the task.  Anybody
using these?

-Jan
