Hello All, I have been using rsync to backup several filesystems by using Mike Rubel's hard link method (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). The problem is, I am backing up a lot of ASCII .log, csv, and .txt files. These files are large and can range anywhere from 1GB to 30GB.

You can switch to a filesystem that supports transparent encrytpion (Reiser, ZFS, NTFS, others depending on your OS). Rsync would be completely unaware of any file-system level compression in that case. Or you can use gzip with the --rsyncable option. Not all distributions of gzip support
