Like my work? Check out HexaLex, my game for iPhone & iPod Touch. It's a crossword game like Scrabble, but played with hexagonal tiles. http://www.hexalex.com I just released Backup Bouncer 0.1.3. I’ve changed the output format to print the “priority” of a test along with its outcome, which hopefully should clear up some confusion among less experienced users. On a tip from Patrick Power I’ve added a new test that combines resource forks and hard links. Unfortunately, Apple’s rsync fails this test in OS X 10.5.3: ------------------ rsync-apple ------------------ Verifying: basic-permissions ... ok (Critical) Verifying: timestamps ... ok (Critical) Verifying: symlinks ... ok (Critical) Verifying: symlink-ownership ... ok Verifying: hardlinks ... ok (Important) Verifying: resource-forks ... Sub-test: on files ... ok (Critical) Sub-test: on hardlinked files ... FAIL (Important) Verifying: finder-flags ... ok (Critical) Verifying: finder-locks ... FAIL Verifying: creation-date ... FAIL Verifying: bsd-flags ... ok Verifying: extended-attrs ... Sub-test: on files ... ok (Important) Sub-test: on directories ... ok (Important) Sub-test: on symlinks ... FAIL Verifying: access-control-lists ... Sub-test: on files ... ok (Important) Sub-test: on dirs ... ok (Important) Verifying: fifo ... ok Verifying: devices ... ok Verifying: combo-tests ... Sub-test: xattrs + rsrc forks ... ok Sub-test: lots of metadata ... ok If you add a resource fork to a file that’s hardlinked to another file then only one of the files gets copied. Some of the changes in BB 0.1.3 were a bit invasive and Bash is not the greatest of programming languages, so please keep your eyes open for bugs. If you see something in your results that doesn’t make sense just let me know.

[...] TM to prevent wasted space. (I should point out that the hardlink failure here is not the same as the Apple rsync one I mentioned earlier today, and it’s not nearly as bad.) These results are not perfect but I would have no problem [...]
