What is not clear to me is how to handle compression. For backing up:
rsync -avzr /mnt/original /mnt/backup
But I have not understood how to undo the compression in the event I need to restore the backup. I'm sure that must be in the man page, buried among some things I don't really understand, but I can't find it.
Compression is only used in over-the-wire transfers, it doesn't store the files in a compressed format. If you want to compress the files, you're probably better off using something like tar or dar for creating your backups.
