`<html><head></head><body>If I remember correctly, in the past the rsync provided in CCC contained patches not available in the main tree and it was the only way to get proper backups.<br>
Nowadays the official rsync already has everything you need to backup OS X metadata and CCC is only a nice GUI.<br>
However, I think not every patch from Mr. Bombich has been submitted, some minor differences may still be there.<br>
A test is recommended.<br>

It has rsync behind<br />its GUI interface, and seems to handle native HFS+ stuff just fine.<br /><br />I tend to set up a remote .dmg volume on our NFS (or SMB) network share<br />for each Mac, and treat those like whole-volume backups (similar to what<br />Time Machine would do). But CCC also works for just a subdirectory,<br />not just for a whole Mac volume, and to a remote share, not only to<br />a disk image.<br /><br />CCC is shareware these days, but you can still download the freeware<br />version, last I checked.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Marion<br /><br /><br
