David,
You can use xtar to get all the resource fork data with no problems.
I have been backing up over 1500 workstations (laptops and desktops)
for over 3 years with this solution (of course I have 8 backuppc
servers instead of one). Rsync will not work because there is no way
via rsync to backup the resource forks to a non-mac server.
cheers,
ski
