-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Gustin,
Every little byte we can squeak out is good. I'll swap up the crypto and see if that gets us a little more. Within /etc/rsnapshot.conf I can pass options to rsync which is where I passed the 'z' flag. I'll add this crypto flag as well. Much obliged for the tip.
