rsyncing from a compressed tarball.

2016-12-06 Thread Ed Peschko
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)?
