hello !

regarding diskspace, there is one idea coming to my mind:

what about storing _all_ of the backup data compressed and adding a
layer of "realtime compression/decompression" - i.e. instead of only
gzipping the data in rdiff-backup-data subdir, why not compressing the
data in "destination_directory", too ?

maybe you could do this with a block compression layer below the
filesystem... dunno if there are any of them which are writeable though.

now there is such "compression-layer":

http://www.miio.net/fusecompress/

didn`t test with rdiff-backup yet, but everybody interested should give it a try - anyway. since this is not very "mature" software, be cautious, though. don`t put real important data there.

regards
roland
