It ain’t be faster…

To speed up the backup-scripts I tried two different ways of transfering the data… I tried

  tar -cjvf test-1.tar.bz2 data/*

  scp test-1.tar.bz2 backup@remote:/home/backup/

or

  tar -cjvf - | ssh backup@remote dd of=/home/backup/test-2.tar.bz2

And guess what… it didn’t make a difference….

So another speed-up-idea busted
