Thanks very much Eliot and Matt. I didn't know about gzip storing the original
filename, thanks for the tip about the -n. As you say from rsync's point of
view I'm sure the difference is negligible.
Can you point me at any usage examples with rdiff. I've searched quite a bit

Among other things, gzip embeds the names of the files that it
zipped ... so why would you expect your two .gz files to be
exactly the same? You'll need to use the same name for the

Hi Ryan & Matt,
Thank you both for your replies. I'll reply to you both in one go, starting
with you Ryan.
The decision to have tarballs on the remote site is arguably unnecessary. It's
like that historically, and does cope with a very large hierachy of small
files. There are many different m

Hi,
I am hoping that rsync may be able to improve an existing network backup I've
got:
tar czf - --files-from $FILE_LIST | ssh -i $AUTH -l $USER $HOST "cat >
${DEST}/${SOURCE}_${FILE}.tgz"
You can see that this backup uses tar to create a single compressed archive and
store it on a remote ho
