    I would use rsync but its for client MC servers and I want compress the data because ALOT of minecraft is just text files. I can usually get around 75% compression when just done with gzip.

    why not use cron to compress the folder into a .tar.gz and just send it over?

    Duply

    duply is a frontend for the mighty duplicity magic. duplicity is a python based shell application that makes encrypted incremental backups on remote storages. Several backends like ftp, sftp, imap and others are supported. (also Amazon S3)

    Hmmm I really feel dumb.

    Why transfer unchanged files every time you backup?

    Because I would prefer compression and rysnc can't do it with compression. Unless create a local folder of changed files only? Then transfer those?

    -z anyone?

    -z, --compress Compress file data during the transfer (man rsync)

    Would that save the compressed data ? I thought it compressed, sent, decompressed it again?

    Can I know where you get this information? All the map is in some huge binary files... The configuration and the log is text but... that's what, 0.5%?...
