Drew-
There is a build of GZip
(under Debian I think) that has an rsync
friendly option. I have posted a patch
for zlib to this newsgroup with code that
makes zlib rsync friendly (along with some
extra optimizations over the GZip implementation).
Take a look in the list
archives and you'll find the patch.
Cheers!

Hello,
Rsync is great, thanks to all
who work on it. Does anyone have any
good
strategies for keeping the backups
on the remote side compressed on disk?
I'm
under the impression that gzipping the files
would not work as they
would not be available
to rsync in the uncompressed state for subsequent
backups.
A compressed filesystem would be prefect,
but the only
references I could find was
for a non-production quality kernel mod for
ext2
(I'm running ext3). Has anyone else
tackled this issue?
Thanks,
Drew
