I am trying to work out a backup solution whereby an entire Linux drive can
be rsynced to a mounted external firewire/usb hard drive that has a vfat
filesystem on it.
To preserve ownership and permissions it is necessary to do something like
tar -cf dir1.tar dir1/ | rsync /win/rsync
however this command does not work. Does anyone know if it is even possible
to do such a thing? Also, if it is possible, will it be possible to use
rsync again to incrementally update dir1.tar on the vfat filesystem?
