[flexbackup-help] Using p7zip

[Phil R. <phi...@ti...>]

There is a p7zip wrapper on my system. This can be used as a  
substitute for bzip2 with tar.

Assuming I make sure it is on all of my systems, can I specify it as a  
compress program for flexbackup to use with tar?

you should be able to as long as triggers are all the same. Otherwise you
can always create a simple permanent alias for it.

Well, it won't work when specified, nor when used as bzip2 (rejects -9  
switch) but can be used in place of compress.

It is also useless with large amounts.
