Hi Ken,

no, that's nothing rsync supports.

indeed, it would be nice and great for backups - but for now
you need a filesystem which supports transparent compression
to have your rsync`ed data compressed.

on linux, watch out for reiser4 or zfs-fuse

Subject: compression of source and target files


Hi - there's a flag for rsync to compress the files in transit - is it
possible
to compress one side (target) with gzip and have rsync still work
correctly?

Any help would be appreciated.
