[rdiff-backup-users] Mac resource fork question

[John Goerzen]

Hi,

I observe from the CHANGELOG and mailing list questions that rdiff-backup
0.13.0 added support for resource forks on Macs.

I have two questions regarding this:

1. Does it work if the machine being backed up is a Mac, but the files
   are being stored on a Linux system?  Does it somehow compensate for
   the fact that the Linux system does not support resource forks?
   Is there a method to restore from such a backup reliably?

2. Does it also store the Mac creator and type information?  This
   is not properly part of the resource fork, I believe.  Same restoration
   question as above applies here.

Thanks,
John
