I would us gzip or bzip2 and then gpg if you want encryption. If it just during copy then sync over ash has always worked well for me (and can be stopped and started happily and it continues where you stopped)

How good is the Archive Manager built into jaunty in terms of its comparison to say Winzip? I’m thinking more security than compression though the better the compression the happier I am. What I’m trying to do is backup about 150Gb of stuff on my NAS to an external HDD. Copying the data from one drive to another is quite slow and (unless I encrypt the entire drive using TrueCrypt or something) it’s insecure. So what I want is to compress the data (saving copying time) and encrypt is at the same time. I see there is encryption built into Jaunty’s archive manager but it doesn’t announce itself as AES or whatever and only looks to allow shortish passphrases. Whether or not it accepts more characters as passphrases than it displays I dunno. And before anyone suggests I could speed this up – I’m constrained in that my NAS is quite old and most of my network “infrastructure” is only 10Mb so at best I’m getting about 780kBps transfer speeds. Anyone been in this situation and found a sort of “Winzip” for Ubuntu that goes a bit beyond Archive manager?
