Correct. There is an alternate procedure, with cpio, to compress files first, then archive the result. If there is damage it typically only affects one file.
Are you sure? I can't find it in the info page at a quick glance.
I had a backup script, that was packaged by openSUSE several releases back, at SuSE times, that worked that way, as far as I recall.
I know 'afio' does work that way. You can find it in the Archiving repo.
Maybe I'm confused about what exactly they used... The backup done by YaST does something like that with tar and gz. It doesn't gzip the entire tar, it uses smaller "tars", I think. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
