And as for the compression, is the code or that actually in the TAR binary or does it pipe through an external command?
I feel pretty certain it uses an external command - I'm sure I've seen the forked process in a 'ps axf' display.
Which means that if the compression/decompression fails, it may corrupt the entire backup. I don't trust compressed tars for backups. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
