Well, jar is zip, as long as I can remember. .tgz compress a little bit more than it. And it's one line of code on /etc/cron.daily If cpu time required for compressing is not a matter to you, you should really try bzip2. I was having trouble wih backups on a small company I work for, as every user was using almost 900 mb, and every user has its own backup cd... Changing to bzip2 turned this files to an average of 250mb (!), keeping room for two backups on each cd, thus reducing media and recording time cost. But the time for processing it on server just doubled. -- []s Alexandre Ganso 500 FOUR vermelha - Diretor Steel Goose Moto Group
