It looks like the Qubes Manager has an internal app for backup in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/qubesmanager/backup.py, that manager the window-based wizard, and uses the generic backup tool in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/qubes/backup.py to get the job done.
At the beginning of the latter I can see some definitions like "DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_FILTER = 'gzip'", I think you may want to check there. The compression filter defined there is passed to the command line of various tar executions with --use-compress-program=%s. I don't think it is intented to be actually changed by users via the GUI, but the fact that it has been moved to a definition at the beginning of the file and that it is named "DEFAULT" may indicate that is is intended to be customizable in a possible future extension. -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
