  • Why don't you just use RSNAPSHOT and crontab? (This is not an answer to your question because RSNAPSHOT is entirely different to tar and does not do compression, but it has the advantage of doing incremental backups while providing a full file tree for each incremental backup - but with only the changed files duplicated.)
