Comments on: Rsync Backups and Hard Links on Mac OS X External Drives http://slaptijack.com/system-administration/rsync-backups-and-hard-links-on-mac-os-x-external-drives/ I’ve spent the last 10+ years hoarding network and system administration knowledge. Now, in an attempt to organize all the sticky notes and scraps of paper floating around my office, I’m steadily putting everything in one place. Not only does this site serve as my personal library of collected information, but it’s available to all admins — beginners and experts alike.

Strange to me that Mac OS X, by default, sets external drives to ignore file permissions. I suppose they have a good reason for that. Since I'm on Leopard, I use Time Machine. Thus far, it works like a charm -- though I don't use it to backup Aperture (as I have read that there are some issues here). Very clever…good info.
