So we're all waiting for backup software for OS X and the Retrospect client is useless if you don't have a Mac Retrospect server somewhere (and who does?).
I wonder why we can't use something like tar, gnutar, pax, or cpio for backing up non-resource-forked files. I'm unfamiliar with pax and cpio and I'm not convinced tar/gnutar is really going to work with their limits on file path lengths--unless that's an old limit that's been fixed.
Is anyone familiar with these tools, and does anyone know if they could be used to back up a hard drive to some other medium? Disk drive? Tape drive? Network drive?
I've had limited success with a command like this:
-Rob
