I have my system set up to back up /var, /etc, and /home nightly to another hard drive in the server, using rsync. It would be great to have several different backups (one every day or every other day) on the same backup drive, but that would take up a lot of space. What would be a good way of compressing the data for storage? # (for two backups) rm /mnt/bak/home.0.gz cp /mnt/bak/home.gz /mnt/bak/home.0.gz gzip -cr /home | rsync - /mnt/bak/home.gz Would this work okay?
