Hi Henri, hi list, Thanks a lot for your answer. I did some testing during my spare time those last weeks and ended up compiling rsync 3.0.9 (with additionnal Mac OS X-related patches). The difficulty I was facing seems to be related to this : https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6576 - t

Hi, I'm trying to make a small script to get rid of Apple's TimeMachine. The aim is to backup the files of my company. I setup a MacMini with a lot of storage attached to it. The MacMini connects every once in a while to our data server (XServe) through SSH and pulls the files that need to be s
