Matthias,
I'm backing up Intel Xserves running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10 (not Leopard
yet) with Bacula. Indeed be sure to understand HFS+ from Apple's on-line
documentation. Be sure to include the Bacula Directive for HFS+ Support as
in:
hfsplussupport = yes
>
Especially if you want to back up resource forks (am not sure about ACLs but
what I would do if I were you is test it). I am not backing up hard disc
volumes that have resource forks on them so I'm not sure about ACLs (what I
do instead is I use Apple's command-line tools such as hdiutil to take
device or block-level snapshots of the Xserve's boot disc) but I use Bacula
to back up non-boot disc volumes (e.g., used for data and applications).
Bacula also has a really cool Verify Job option that lets you take a file
system snapshot and compare future backup jobs against the snapshot to see
what if anything has changed (a nice Tripwire-like feature).
Go for it! Bacula rocks! Who needs "Time Machine" in Leopard anyway ;-)
