[BackupPC-users] Rsync over CygWin SSH

[Michael P. <mi...@so...>]

I have a remote host (Windows 2000 Server) that I am trying to back up 
using rsync over ssh.  I have gotten that working, but it is extremely slow.

Given that the data is largely made up of dBase files, which compress 
extremely well, can I use the '--compress' option in Conf{RsyncArgs}? 
Am I correct in my understanding that this will compress the data 
stream, not the actual files?

Any thoughts?
