Zpaq support #2

Closed Sanesecurity closed 3 years ago

Sanesecurity commented 3 years ago

Could Zpaq support be added...

As its got journaling built in, it may make it a good choice for snapshots and saving a lot of space.

Thanks

Sanesecurity thanks for the suggestion. I need to polish the current feature set first. Then I can look into this.

Peace

Thanks for the heads up on Zpaq. I just took a look at Zpaq. It looks like a good compression tool for incremental backups. Since PiSafe does a full image backup, the incremental backup functions of Zpaq are not helpful. I ran a quick test and Zpaq did not outperform zip, or gz. If you do want to compress with Zpaq, simply use PiSafe to create a .img file. Then compress that with Zpaq, or any tool you want. Peace
