I don't think you quite got what Greg was illustrating. You might also 
contemplate who wrote the original jbackup.

I don't think you quite got what I was saying and anyway: tar cvz ... does this 
if you use GNU tar. But, you can only use tar if the files are offline. If they 
are online, then your tar backup is useless. Bzip2 is a better compression 
system for large data streams such as tar, or perhaps 7zip.

Except that at some point you will deflate the read-ahead logic by dancing all 
over the disks.
