Now the fun part: I would like the files on the
backup flash drive to be compressed. Do I lose
my file comparison feature?
Can I do this?
I don't think rsync can peer into compressed archives for file
comparison, and a quick search in the manual didn't yield anything for
such a purpose with the search terms that I came up with. One other
option would be to put btrfs on the flash drive, and then enable
compression on the filesystem.
