Thread-topic: rsync backup - lost file type (final cut pro files)
Thanks. I added the -E option and changed rsync versions and this
solved the FCP file problem.
Why do I use rsync?? For backups?? Cause it's a great tool?? I'm not
sure
I understand the question.

How are you performing this "backup"?

What is their file extension?
What is the volume format of the target drive of the backup?
FWIW it's not a common problem, but siunds like you're just doing
something wrong, so the key it to figure out what, exactly, you're
doing. But since you've neglected to give us *any* hard details you
might as well ask us to sacrifice another goat in an augury.
Also, this really isn't an OS X Server question, since it has nothing
to do with operating your XServe or OS X Server, so you might find
the OS X list or FCP lists more directly on-topic.
Also FWIW, we routinely have clients that use rsync to copy FCP files
w/o any more incident than the typical broken behaviors in rsync. Is
there a reason you're using this tool?
