I think you should have a look at psync. It is a Perl script that works
like rsync but is capable of handling hfs+ files. It is a command line
utility that so easy to use that even I have become proficient.
Each day I psync various directories. You can also psync the complete drive
to create a bootable image on another disk or removable media.
You find psync at http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=MacOSX-File
File to download is MacOSX-File-0.64.tar.gz This is a collection of file
copy/sync/attribute scripts for OSX. It requires compiling, but the
instructions were easy enough for me to follow.
There is also rsyncX which is an OSX version of rsync. I believe it has a
GUI now. It is located at: http://www.macosxlabs.org/rsyncx/rsyncx.html
I haven't tried this yet since I was happy with psync.
There is also CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner). It is a GUI disk cloning program.
It uses ditto under the hood as far as I can tell. CCC was set up as a
backup program but I used it to sync directories. Since finding psync, I
haven't used it much. http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
Hope this is helpful.
