I have a directory that I backup using rsync with --link-dest and hard links, but I would like the files in that directory to be zipped to conserve space. They are very large log text files (hundreds of megs) that compress 90% or more.

Is there some way to do this so that all the files rsync backs up get compressed?

The only thing I can think of is manually compressing the directories after rsync runs, but that seems like quite a waste or time and resources.
