Hi, I've just started using `dar` and I ABSOLUTELY love it. I've been looking for a comprehensive backup program and `dar` does so exactly 100% what I want in a way that feels wonderful. On to my situation: I used `dar` with `-z9` to compress my projects folders. When I viewed the archive (using `dar -l`) it showed me that some files were worse compressed (`[Worse]`). These were all files in the `.git/objects/...` folders. So it seems that compression does not work well for `.git` objects. But I cannot figure out how to exclude them from compression. When I read the documentation for `-Z` (exclude compression) I see it applies to file names only but `.git` objects are not having similar file names so how should I exclude them? Hope someone can help. And thanks to everyone who has contributed to creating this wonderful program. /C _______________________________________________ Dar-support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dar-support
