Rsync is a program that will syncronize two filesystems, either locally or between two machines. It is fast and efficient, and will only copy files that have changed. It will even try to only copy portions of files that have changed to further speed up copying. It's a great way to keep a live backup of a system for fault tolerance, and the good news is that it works fine with OSX.
RsyncX is a port of rsync that can handle HFS resource forks. While this is not a huge deal since OSXS doesn't use much in the way of resource forks, you may have some classic files laying around that do. Just to be safe, you might as well use RsyncX. |

File services let clients of the Mac OS X Server access shared files, applications, and other resources over a network.
Mac OS X Server includes file services based on four common protocols:
* AFP service uses the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) to share resources with clients who use Macintosh or Macintosh-compatible computers.
* Windows service uses the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol to share resources with and provide name resolution for clients who use Windows or Windowscompatible computers.
* FTP service uses the File Transfer Protocol to share files with anyone using FTP client software.
* • NFS service uses the Network File System to share files and folders with users (typically UNIX users) who have NFS client software.
You can use the following Mac OS X Server applications to set up and manage file services:
* Server Admin Use to turn on and configure individual file services for each protocol
* Workgroup Manager Use to create share points and set access privileges
You can also perform most setup and management tasks by typing commands at a command prompt in Terminal. For more information, see the file services chapter of the command-line administration guide. |

This guide will not go into a ton of detail about kernels, API’s, Cocoa, Carbon, and other buzzwords related to OS X (although we’ll discuss it a little). There’s a ton of information on the web about OS X’s technical structure and features. Instead, we’ll concentrate on things about the system that affect its usability in daily use. However, some general background may help you understand why things can be so different in OS X as compared to OS 9. |
