I haven't already tried, and have little time to by now, but I once read
about backing up with: afio
They said the main advantage of this command (afio) against tar+gzip or
cpio was that if your backup gets one block damaged you only lose the
recovering of the affected file, not the whole backup.
Google and man around about it if this interests you...
