Hi, I was playing around with rdiff-backup on OSX and I'm considering to use it for some local backups (instead of duplicity), especially because of the xattr support. But there is one thing that bothers me:
By default rdiff-backup stores the latest backup (the "mirrored" files) as uncompressed files and thus is really wasting a lot of space. Is there any way to activate file compression for the latest backup? (The previous incremental backups are also stored compressed.) I guess there must be an option for this, as it is not very useful to store a backup without compression. (IMO this would only make sense in case of true bidirectional sync (but rdiff-backup apparently is not made for this) or other special use cases.) Thanks for any hint.
