It would be nice if there was an option that makes
reoback store its archives in bzip2 format instead of gzip.
Tar has a command-line option (-j, --bzip2, --bunzip2)
that allows you to do this.

    Just modify the Tar command in line 45 to "tar -cpjf" and
    the file-extension in line 47 to "\.tar.bz2". Then the
    backup files will be get bzipped.

    Nobodys comment (the modification of line 45 and 47) isnt
    functional.
    If you try it you will get an error message!
