Netatalk provides AFP filesharing, imitating the resource forks by creating secondary files in “.Appledouble” folders within each folder. Netatalk tracks the resource forks, and other metadata, by keeping a “Desktop database” at the root of the shared volume — look for .AppleDesktop, and .AppleDB.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> You can double check the font still has its payload by looking at the size of “./.Appledouble/fontname.ext"</div><div class=""> To use the backup, you have to present that storage on a machine that has Netatalk, AND to rebuild the 'desktop file’. </div><div class=""> To rebuild the desktop: “sudo dbd -r /home/AFPshare”, or just to check it use "-s” for a scan. I usually stop the service, run the scan piped to “wc -l” and then do a rebuild, scan and count the errors, rebuild, etc until the number of error lines stops going down, or is zero. If there are still errors (usually codepage issues from moving between platforms) I check the files and work out how to fix it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> My best recommendation is to move away from Netatalk and go to Samba. It’s not perfect, but with OSX10.10 things are starting to get better. Samba removes the custom .Appledouble and the database, forcing the client computer to create “dot-underscore” files (fontname.ext & ._fontname.ext).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Also worth noting, Apple still ships rsync 2.6.9 with OSX10.10! The same version since late 10.4 version. I’ve followed the suggestion of Mike Bombich who writes CarbonCopyCloner and built a universal 3.0.7 executable which I deploy to all my Apple servers.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">OSX 10.10 native:</div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29<br class="">Copyright (C) 1996-2006 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.<br class=""><<a href="http://rsync.samba.org/" class="">http://rsync.samba.org/</a>><br class="">Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles,<br class=""> inplace, IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums<br class=""></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">per Bombich instructions:</div><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
