  If you click on "Link to hack" it takes you to the discussion about the backup hack, but you never get to see the hack!
  
  Maybe they just want you to buy the book.

  What's the difference between psync and rsync and why are they separated by 56 other hacks?
  
  I have used psync (hack 2) and rsync (hack 59) today to back-up Mac directories to a Windows share. They both work... sort of. Apparently file or directory names containing /, * or " make psync gag, though these names were easily changed. What I can't figure out is why psync insists that some files (about a third of the test archive: 2000 files) need to be updated with every run. rsync also seems to be writing more than necessary but I'm still trying it.

  I am also experiencing the same problems when using psync with a windows share. I would be very interested in any alternatives that only copy changed files and deal with resource forks.

  Can't answer that question, but you might also investigate Carbon Copy Cloner from Mike Bombich http://www.bombich.com/.
