Tar works pretty good too, and it's quite a bit faster.
To be honest though, BackupPC's data directory should ALWAYS be on an
LVM as it makes moving it SO much easier.
When making the file system, I usually use this command line:
mke2fs -b 1024 -i 1024 -j -m 1 -O
dir_index,has_journal,sparse_super,resize_inode -t ext3 -v (partition
location)
followed by:
tune2fs -c 31 -e remount-ro -o acl,journal_data
