I want to back up several OS X machines to a Linux host but am
concerned some of the HFS+ file system resource fork info will not

the some of the output when I start the rdiff-backup process. As
you can see the filesystem does not support "Mac OS X style
resource forks". Is this going to be a problem, or is that
information still save somehow so when I restore the files will be
fine?
It saves it. But do a test restore if you don't trust it (or even if
you do; it's just a good idea). You should be able to see the forks
show up when you restore to an OS X machine.
