RE: 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.

You're right, you don't. Since if you did understand the question you'd realize:


A) It's not a great tool

B) it's highly problematic on OS X or any filesystem that's not POSIX-esque

C) It doesn't do "backups" but merely synchronizes directories and files

D) It is metadata lossy

E) It's luck it it's working and not barfing over itself in OS X

...someone else want to continue the long laundry list...?
