Hi, maybe someone can point me to solving this.
rdiff-backup is not preserving metadata. $ port -v MacPorts 2.3.4 I installed rdiff-backup from macports on OS X 10.11 El Capitan, $ port installed rdiff-backup The following ports are currently installed: rdiff-backup @1.2.8_3 (active) but it's not copying Finder Information and Extended Attributes. In a very basic test, I am copying directory 1 to directory 2 from/to the same local HFS+ extended formatted drive: It doesnt work, so I also tried installing these: $ port installed xattr py-xattr py27-xattr The following ports are currently installed: py-xattr @0.7.5_0 (active) py27-xattr @0.7.5_0 (active) xattr @0.1_2 (active) Below is the verbose rdiff-backup output, providing a description of what metadata is supported Any ideas? Thank you $ rdiff-backup -v4 1 2 Using rdiff-backup version 1.2.8 Unable to import module xattr.
