Rsync -> TAR

[tim.conway at philips.com]

If you're planning to rsync it over, tar it up, and delete the directory 
tree, you should just tar|gzip it on the work system and catch that in a 
file on the other end.

Hello,

I have rsync doing a nightly backup of my work computer to my home.  It's 
a rather large backup that I would like to have save in a large tar.gz 
file.  I'm hoping this would save a lot of hard drive space which could be 
used more productively.  Is something like this feasible?  If so, how 
could it be accomplished.

Thanks in advance!
