I have just ordered a new Mac Pro and had been wondering about rsync on Mac since then. Shame to hear it is still a bit buggy, but I only have max of about 600Gb data to backup, not TB's Really submitting this comment so I can tick the "Notify me of follow-up comments" check box I have been using Rsync on my Windows/Ubuntu network to backup to FreeNAS backup and ftp servers in the attic at home for a year or so now.

It was working fine with logs generating at server side too. But all of sudden the server side log generation is stopped. I checked backup is fine. so now I started taking the logs generating in the client side. Also rsync fails to copy/stat the files which are not having enough file permission, in that i used changing the file permission and copied again. It will happy news if Apple look into these kind of issues with the rsync and support. My experience on rsync : Actually I compiled a recent version rsync 3.0.3 in both server an client machines.

The basic conclusion is that rsyncx is OK, but buggy, while the rsync included in Mac OS X after 10.4.9 at least works, but is slow because of some issues with the HFS file system.
