I have a single disk nas which I back up to a external hard disk using
rsync, the total amount of data I backup from the nas is about 235gb.
At the moment I use rsync to copy it from the nas to the external hard
disk, but I am thinking about using the -z option to add compression
but have a couple of questions
1) what would happen if I just add the -z option to my existing command?
From the man page:
-z, --compress compress file data during the transfer
The resulting files would be the same, the compression is only for the
data transfer, which makes more sense when you are using rsync over the
internet, perhaps via SSH.
