I will be using a system that's running Windows XP Pro (SP3) as a backup
target, probably using an FTP server, to back up some home and work files
-- the computer will be in a remote location (across town).
I would like to have both encryption (in case the computer gets stolen) and
compression active on the folders that the data gets backed up to. I would
prefer not to Zip the files for various reasons (such as, I don't want to
have to mass-unzip them in case the source computer loses a hard drive).
I could tell Windows to compress the files that get written to the folder,
and use a third-party folder encryption program, OR I could tell Windows to
encrypt the files, but then I would have to use something else to compress
them.
(Mode-Z for FTP only compresses the data during transfer, right? Once it's
written to the target disk, it will be stored "normally" I think.)
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has. Thanks.
