rsync with ?zip
Hi
I try to backup my server with rsync, but the HDDs on the storage machine are too small.
It is not possible to add HHD to the array.
Is it possible to store the files on the backup machine gziped or bziped?
Google didnt helped me. I fond something about a hidden option in gzip called --rsyncable but nothing specific.
Who know how to do the job?
thank you

According to this:
http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/
it already is compressed, but just to clarify, you want rsync to compress the files once they are synced (only on the backup server?)

No, i think he means a compressed target not a compressed connection. A pipe woudnt work because the connection has to be bidirectional. *hmm* Only way i could imagine is to mount a compressed FS.

Hi
pikass, you are right.
I need a compressed target. The connection is not the problem.
Do you know any stable compressed filesystem?
All projects I found died in early alpha or beta stage.
