  • Backing up files
    • Rsync is a synchronization program, but can be used as a backup program
    • Rsync finds the changes and copies those changed files to another location, which means you can create incremental backups rather than full backups
    • Out of the box, rsync does not save resource forks and creator/type; but there's a downloadable version that does
    • RsyncX -- http://www.macosxlabs.org/rsyncx/rsyncx.html
      • RsyncX is a CLI program replacement for rsync, as well as a GUI for easy backup
      • In order to do incremental backups, you need to script it; right now, the GUI does not allow for advanced scripting (1.0c)
    • Good article on how to set up rsync for linux: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
