Ah. I misunderstood. I thought I could backup to a tape drive on a FreeBSD machine, having the file-daemon running on the Darwin system. That would explain why my tests aren't restoring my resource forks.

Thanks for clarifying.


Well, I am not sure I clarified the situation. Your FD needs to be running on the Darwin system, then if you set that directive in the Options part of the FileSet, it should backup your Darwin resource forks. As mentioned in the release notes, this is new code and not extensively tested.

Hi Kern,

Sorry for not replying earlier (haven't checked the list for a while!).

That's cool, that's how I thought it wo1uld work. I'm glad it is like that. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I have tried backing up to a FreeBSD directory, and also to a tape drive attached to a FreeBSD box. The backup seems to work ok, but then when I restore the files, all my resource forks are missing.
