hi all,

until now, i am using rsync for backup on my mac os x tiger system. but
i think, rdiff-backup could be a much better solution, so i tried it.
i found some entries in this mailing-list and the rdiff-backup wiki
regarding hfs and extended attributes, which should work so far.

i tried different backups (hfs -> hfs; hfs -> etx3 on linux). but in
every case some things are lost, which are custom file- and folder-icons
and custom color-labels. there *is* an "icon"-file in the backup, which
is restored, but empty and not attached to any file or folder.

i don't know, how these are saved (first i thought it would be in
resource forks), and if these are accessible by the py-xattr-module.

spotlight-comments *are* preserved for example.

i tried this with "--carbonfile" and "--no-carbonfile".

any ideas?

btw:
i tried this with rdiff-backup version 1.0.4 and 1.1.5, both installed
by darwinports.
