The only thing it might handle is a Mac ACL that can't be set on Linux.
--fake-super doesn't have special handling for creation times or file

Will --fake-super handle this?

When this option is enabled, rsync simulates super-

Any Mac folks out there able to comment? When I back up from a Mac to a
Linux machine with the -X flag, what Mac-specific file info is retained
or lost? Also, will I fare better using 2.6.3 and the -E flag or 3.0.2
and the -X flag in that scenario?
Thanks again,

You won't be able to preserve file flags and creation times since Linux
doesn't have them. On the other hand, rsync 3.0.2 with -X will preserve
getxattr-style extended attributes (including resource forks, which Mac
OS 10.4+ exposes as extended attributes); no patches are needed.
Thanks. Just t

I'm trying to use rsync to back up a Mac OS X machine to a Linux server.
I've used the instructions at http://www.bombich.com/mactips/rsync.html
to patch and install rsync 3.0.2 to support HFS+ attributes and forks on
the client. I was assuming the Linux box needed the same version, and so

Hi All,
I am trying to characterize Linux machine running OS Sles9
as rsync server.
The purpose of this server is to run rsync commands over SSH
using daemon or interactively.
There could be hundreds of rsync jobs running simultaneously
on the server.
Do you have any suggestions
