Subject: [gentoo-user] rsync + tar + bz2 ?
Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2009 08:04:17 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10903070804h585ffd1agdd88f75bb4c9310@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm backing up numerous large files on another machine on my local
network. I've only been using rsync, but it occured to me that I
might be able to save some time and space if I incorporate tar and
bzip2. How will rsync interact with those? If I turn the whole
backup into a big tar.bz2, would rsync need to redownload the whole
thing if I change one file? If so, maybe I should turn different
groups of files into tar.bz2 archives so rsync only needs to
redownload an archive if one of its files has changed?
