Subject: Backing up Mac hard disks to AUFS volumes?

We're considering various methods to backup Macintosh hard disks using
our UNIX systems.

We've looked at "macdump" but do not feel we can use it due to it's
lack of security.  This is sad, as it's a near perfect solution for
what we need.

What we're looking for now is some method of copying an arbitrary
directory tree to another location.  This method should notice changes
(like DiskFit) and only copy the changes.

We've tried a number of the public domain disk backup programs, none
of which seem to work when using AUFS.  Also, diskfit and SUMII's
backup functions don't work on AUFS volumes.

Does any one have a good way to do this that is secure?  Session level
security (ie. login & passwd per backup/restore) would be sufficient.
