Hi Guys
I use the BackupPC_tarCreate method for creating archived tar.gz files for backup to removable media. However I’m having trouble with some of the files actually growing in size once they are gzipped.
The one that are growing are backups of already compressed audio files.
Here is the command I use to create the archive
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_archiveHost /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split /usr/bin/par2 phone-calls -1 /bin/gzip .gz 0 /tmp 0 "*"
Is there any way I can prevent BackupPC_tarCreate from using gzip, i.e. just create the tar file?
Thanks
Mark
