Hello Everyone,

I've only just joined the ML so forgive me if I missed this issue  
being covered in the list archives at gmane.

I am having some trouble backing up and restoring files that contain  
resource fork data from HFS+ volumes. I am using bacula-dir and  
bacula-sd 2.0.3 on Linux and bacula-fd 2.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.4.9  
Intel. I have also tested this same hardware setup with bacula 1.38.11.

Everything I have read indicates that backup/restore of files  
containing resource forks should work properly with either version of  
bacula that I have tested. What I am seeing however is that these  
files are listed with a size of zero in both bconsole (during setup  
of a restore job, by doing a "dir" during file selection) and also on  
the client after the restore is complete (the resultant files are  
zero kilobytes).

Looking through the ML archives on gmane, the last post I see  
concerning this issue was dated Monday, December 4, 2006 from Landon

As I have already stated, the documentation for 1.38.11 and 2.0.3  
imply that this feature works correctly. My question to the ML is this:

Are files on HFS+ filesystems containing resource fork data able to  
be properly backed up and restored using Bacula (either 1.38.11 or  
2.0.3)?

Pasted below are the relevant configuration files. Any assistance is  
much appreciated.
