I'm pleased to announce the first release of Backup Bouncer, a tool to keep the ugly backup tools out of the club. To be more precise, BB is a tool for systematically testing backup tools in OS X, with a focus on ensuring proper preservation of file-related metadata. It contains a suite of tests to verify that metadata has survived a copy operation, along with a suite of copiers. It will even automatically prepare disk images as source/destination targets for you. How is this relevant to darwin-dev? Well, the results of the various copy/archival tools in Tiger leave much to be desired. Here are the results from rsync: Anyhow, I know you're aware of many of these problems. I hope that having an automated test suite can help you to find and solve them. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
