Hi,

Incremental backup of a linux machine using tar (i.e. only files newer
than...) is several times faster than using rsync. On the other hand,
full backup using tar transfers huge amount of data over network, way
more than the efficient rsync.

Is there a way to use rsync for full backup and tar for the incremental
runs? I do not even know whether the two transfer modes formats produce
mutually compatible data in the pool.

Thanks a lot for any hints.

Pavel.
