rsync does provide compression. rsync -z is compressed. just put this
either in your main config or in the specific hosts config for the rsync
command.
ssh can compress the ssh tunnel that you create.
you can also compress ipsec tunnels like openvpn or cisco vpn.
Backup cant recognize it. The compression is in the transport stream, not
the backup. You litterally wont be able to tell the difference in the
backuppc backup.
