cdbackup 0.3.1 (Mac OS X)

After using OS X for over a year I had an urgent need for backing up some stuff just now (I want to re-partition to make room for the long overdue YellowDog partition). I had to realise that OS X doesn't ship with *any* backup facility. The usual suspects (tar, cpio, pax) are broken since they don't fully support the native filesystem. The only Apple alternative is to become a "full paying member" of some online service (.mac). How is that related to a basic sysadmin tasks?? I'm glad I found this utility, which is *exactly* what I need. Please don't add a GUI. Firstly, I can't see how it would help, secondly, backup/ restore utilities have to be minimal to be useful for disaster recovery. One possible future project could be an interactive restore facility, a la "restore -i", just so I don't have to go through the file list myself. Cheers [alert admin]
