Hi All, Looking over https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43624832/rsync-compression-and-how-it-works#43625513 I am not sure what I am reading. What I would like to do with rsync is as follows: I would like to have a master directory on a local drive that is uncompressed. I want to do a one way sync to a backup flash drive to update any changed files. The job will go off in the middle of the night, so speed is not an issue. Now the fun part: I would like the files on the backup flash drive to be compressed. Do I lose my file comparison feature? Can I do this?
