rsync -E on OS X 10.4

[Cross posted to and …]

Hey everyone… I hadn’t seen this mentioned yet, so I thought I’d bring it up. In short, I’m writing a new script for backing up everything on both my local computer and my web server. Well, I use rsync for this, and when poking through the rsync man page, I came across the following:

-E –extended-attributes copy extended attributes, resource forks

So, yeah. That’s yet another nice new thing about Tiger… In the past (I wrote this up before but I don’t have the link handy) one had to install RsyncX and use the undocumented –eahfs option and now you can just use -E. Woo!
