From: Grant To: Gentoo mailing list Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: df672cb3-2415-4fc4-99fa-2626ec3dd358 X-Archives-Hash: 81f0f73e3eeea8db848ab7e6202dd97c 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? - Grant
