Why don't you try reading the manual? Most of the questions you're asking here are clearly documented if you only take the trouble to check. Sure, some stuff is not adequately documented and some docs may even have errors, but asking if rsync does compression is so basic that I have to wonder if you're making even a minimal effort to find things out for yourself before blasting off another question and expecting someone else to do the work for you. poc -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
