Hi there! I'm quite happily using rsync. There is only one case where I couldn't figure out how to use it efficently: I sometimes have large compressed files (either .tar.gz or .zip) that I need to keep synchronized. The exploded files are usually not available on the machines i use for rsync (to keep everything unpacked would mean wasting a lot of space on the server). The problem is that even if I change slightly the content of the archive (just add a file) the compressed form will be almost completely different making rsync algorythm practically useless. Is there any easy way to tell the daemon to unpack (or just uncompress) a compressed archive before doing the matching? The problem is not severe with .zip archives, but .gz and .bz2 are really inefficient.
Thanks in advance for any hint Mauro
