- rsnapshot is better, if only because I'll bribe you to use it with beer :-)

- You mean HFS+ (as does the author of the message whose URL I deleted).
- Plain ol' rsync works just fine provided that you don't care about those
- stupid fork things. Thankfully, OS X avoids using them to a great
- extent - even Apple finally realised that they were a really dumb idea.
- Certainly ignoring them has never done me any harm in my backups
- (admittedly I mostly use UFS, which eschews such stupidity).
- There are hacked-up versions of rsync which add support for them. And
- another reason to use rsnapshot - I have an email in my mailbox from one
- of the lovely users who has written up in detail how to use it to back
- up Macs, which I'll be adding to the docs soon.

- Consider Box Backup or duplicity if you need encryption:
- <A HREF="http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/">http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/</A>
- <A HREF="http://duplicity.nongnu.org/">http://duplicity.nongnu.org/</A>
- Both have more features than dirvish or rsnapshot, but at the expense of
- making it a little more complicated to restore data.
