Re: rsync backup - lost file type (final cut pro files)

Hi,

I am backing up 2 TB of data onto a a Lacie Drive from an Xserve Xraid.
Backup seems to work with no problem.

How are you performing this "backup"?

  However, once the files are
transferred over to the LaCie, the file types are lost (most of these
are final cut pro files).  So I am unable to open the files directly
from the  Lacie.  If I move them back to the xserve, they are still not
associated with final cut pro.  I get a wrong file type error message.
I am however able to open the files in quicktime so the files don't seem
be corrupt.

I know this is probably not a common problem, just wondering if anyone
has any ideas.

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?
