Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / April 2007Off-Mac storage
I'd like to able to take a bunch of files from a Mac (10.4), store them on another, non-Mac computer, and get them back unchanged, with all attributes and stuff. I presume I can bundle them into one or more .tar or .dmg files, which then get sent to the other system; assuming a proper tar program that does Mac data, which is the norm now, isn't it? Or I could get a proprietary commercial network back up system with Mac client and non-Mac server (no way). Are there other ways?

If you're running OS X 10.4, create Zip files. It's built-in.

I would consider creating a DMG image file with Disk Utility and storing all the files on that image to be the safest method.

If you use ACLs, don't forget to enable them on the image file before copying files to it.

This came up in a thread regarding compressing files: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.apps/browse_thread/thread/31 6ae59fc3b58993/2f9d7427f5eeac2c?lnk=st&q=group%3Acomp.sys.mac.*+author%3 Aphil+author%3Astripling&rnum=3#2f9d7427f5eeac2c or http://tinyurl.com/2ytydu Several people had very good information on keeping settings.

I think that using disk images is probably the safest and best for OS X. Note that you can mount a disk image remotely via http, so you don't even have to copy the .dmg file back to your home computer. man hdiutil SignatureW.
