You could try FuseCompress: http://www.miio.net/fusecompress/

On a side node, brtfs nor ext4 won't help us too much. Strange that
ZFS is being ported to FreeBSD but a license dispute between GPL and
CDDL? I guess GPL isn't all

There will never be ZFS in the Linux kernel because of license
incompatibilites. The linux answer to ZFS is btrfs, which is
You can switch to a filesystem that supports transparent encrytpion
(Reiser, ZFS, NTFS, others depending on your OS). Rsync would be
completely unaware of any file-system level compression in that case.
Or you can use gzip with the --rsyncable option. Not all distributions
of gzip support --rsynca
yep.
ZFS on fuse is just too slow. I suppose I will wait for ZFS on Linux
(pipe dream) or try to switch to Solaris 10 on x86

Thanks all.
I figured this was the only solution available. Too bad I am using

Hello All,
I have been using rsync to backup several filesystems by using Mike
Rubel's hard link method
(http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/).
The problem is, I am backing up a lot of ASCII .log, csv, and .txt
files. These files are large and can range anywhere from 1GB to 30GB.
