I had a feeling that would be the proper way to handle backups with Tarsnap. You might want to consider having that be a FAQ: Q: What's the best way to have backups stored for Tarsnap? A: Don't apply any compression (gzip, bzip, zip, tar.gz, etc) to your data and let tarsnap handle the compression because doing the compression yourself can only ever get in the way. > -- > Colin Percival > Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve > Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid.
