Final tar(ball) and encryption #29

Open RyanScottLewis opened 4 years ago

RyanScottLewis commented 4 years ago

Tar the final collection of backup files into a single file:

Optionally compress?
- Choose to compress only the final tar rather than the archive? Or both? Is there any benefit to compressing the final tar?
Encryption stage comes before or after this stage? Same questions as compression on this final tar.

On a side note, all compression and encryption should be optional, regardless of order of operations.
