Hi,
I have created a script that will backup some files from my web server to my local server via the internet.. I will be using Rsync over SSH..
I am unsure of the best way to impliment compression since bothe Rsync and SSH have the ability to compress data..
The options are either to use rsync compression..
rsync -z --rsh=ssh ...
or ssh compression..
rsync -rsh="ssh -C" ...
My thinking is that the Rsync compression would probably only be effective if I was communicating with an Rsync server but since I am not it would probably be better to use the SSH compression since SSH is providing the transport..
Can someone confirm or deny this? or correct me if my thinking is flawed..
Thanks..
