I've have considered the archive function however I wasn't aware that
the changes would be rsync'd.
I thought it would create a tar archive of the most recent backup then
xfer that to the archive host.
Am I wrong in thinking this?
I also need to ensure data integrity by check suming the remote copy
with the onsite.
