please don't do that. At least now I know why I'm getting spam to my
backuppc-list-only email a
I just found that if I just tar the backup that the tar file is slightly
larger than the resultant gzip file.
I was determining the that the file was larger by executing the gzip -l
command on the gzip file and it was coming back at about -324% compressed.
It must be an error with the reporting
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.

That looks like an invocation using rsyncd; which I would avoid. The time to
use rsyncd is when backing up Windows, because cygwin ssh+rsync is buggy and
doesn't work.
Keep in mind that BackupPC has both:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
You should use 'rsync' for

I have scripts run from cron that:
1. do full backups on Fridays
2. do full backups on the last day of the month
3. prunes (deletes) backups based on a schedule, in my case:
a. delete all full backups that don't land on a Friday or the last day of
the month
b. keep monthly backups for 1
