Take a look at "rsnapshot". It uses "rsync --link-dest" and/or "cp -
al" to do exactly what you like about "cp --backup=t". It maintains
a series of snapshots of the filesystem with separate copies of
changed files but only one copy of unchanged files.
rsnapshot overlays all that with a si

Are you sure that you are not talking about afio? I looked at the
documentation for cpio, and there is no mention of compression (for
etch).
You're probably right. I tend to conflate the two in my mind.

Tar itself integrates bzip2 via the 'j' switch.

Hi Sean,
You might consider using Lha. It does the same as tar and bzip2 together
(although you can disable compression).
It has a simple syntax. You can also view the contents of the archive and
even extract one single file from it.
Example (suppose I have a 'work' dir with a.o. the file 'abc' i

Hello.
I frequently work with large tar archives that often need to be split into
smaller pieces. Up until now, I've used tar -m to create multi-part archives. I
recently read that I can use split to do the same thing. Is there an advantage
or disadvantage to using split over tar -m?
