All else being equal I'd agree, but this is backing up to a NTFS filesystem, which doesn't support the type of ownership and permissions information that's likely to be available on the source filesystem; in that scenario, backing up file-to-file (as with rsync) will lose that metadata, whereas a tarball will preserve it. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
