Newbie to RSYNC. I notice that RSYNC (see RSYNCD.CONF doc) when run as a server daemon has the "dont compress" option which does not compress already compress files like "*.zip". Is there any way to do this with regular RSYNC? I presume one way to do this is a two step process: * first transfer only compress files like "*.zip" without the "-z" option * then transfer all remaining files with the "-z" (compress option) but using the "--exlude="*.zip"" option?
