Mike, As it stands right now, we use xz for our compression, so if rsync had a similar option for xz that would probably be an improvement.
However, I think being able to decompress directly to the remote system would save more; elsewise I don't see how I'm going to be able to avoid untarring and uncompressing the whole xz file on the other end. thanks much, ed On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 8:36 PM, Mike Hodson <myst...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 8:07 PM, Ed Peschko <horo...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> All, >> >> I'm working in an environment *very* restricted by space, and need to >> sync from that location to another location. >> >> So I'd like to be able to sync from a source that is not a filesystem, >> like a compressed tarball. >> >> Is this possible with the --files-from argument (or some other such >> argument)? >> > > I'm curious if rsyncing the entire compressed tarball might work for you, if > you compress the tarball with the gzip option of --rsyncable and then > rsync with --inplace ? > > Mike -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
