I have run into a few machines lately where the mobile user account
on a laptop is just botched beyond belief and of course there is always
like billions of files (ok that is a hyperbole) that the end user never
backed up. I am accessing these files from the command line manually
copying them to the local user account and then backing those up off the
machine so I can wipe and reimage and then apply the back up back to the
machine once it has been wiped.</font><font size=3> </font><p><br><font size=3 face="Lucida Grande">I am just looking at an easier method
of grabbing data than manually from the command line. In all 4 or
5 cases I have seen in the last few weeks the user account pretty much
disappears all together from the GUI, but is still accessible from the
command line.</font><font size=3> </font><p><br><font size=3 face="Lucida Grande">I assume that if I mount a network
share to the machine from the local account and take a snap shot of a user's
home directory and save it to that network share I can just copy it back?
</font><font size=3> </font><p><br><font size=3 face="Lucida Grande">Anyone ever use this feature at all?
What does it use under the hood, rsync? Is -modDates just like
the -E switch in rsycn that captures extended attributes of a file?</font><font size=3></font><p><br><font size=3 face="Lucida Grande">Thanks,</font><font size=3> </font><p><br><font size=3 face="Lucida Grande">Tom</font><font size=3> </font><p><font size=3><br>___________________________<br>Thomas Larkin<br>TIS Department<br>KCKPS USD500</font><font size=3 color=blue><u><br></u></font><a href=mailto:tlarki@kckps.org><font size=3 color=blue><u>tlarki@kckps.org</u></font></a><font size=3><br>blackberry: 913-449-7589<br>office: 913-627-0351<br><br><br><br><br></font><tt><font size=2>_______________________________________________<br>Casper mailing list<br>Casper@list.jamfsoftware.com<br></font></tt><a href=http://list.jamfsoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/casper><tt><font size=2>http://list.jamfsoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/casper</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br></font></tt><p><BR>
