I have an rsync cron job to backup folders that contain many different types of files. Most of these are uncompressed files, so the -z option would speed up their transfer. However there are a few files that are already compressed where -z will just needlessly burn CPU and slow down the transfer. Is there any way to express something like, "compress all files except those with extension XXX?" The files are in a proprietary format so it doesn't make sense to add them to a whitelist in rsync itself.
Thanks, Joe G.
