compression of source and target files

[roland]

Hi Ken,

no, that's nothing rsync supports.

indeed, it would be nice and great for backups - but for now
you need a filesystem which supports transparent compression
to have your rsync`ed data compressed.

on linux, watch out for reiser4 or zfs-fuse

regards
roland
