My kludgy solution

I believe that you can compress the archive directly through the tar command (although I am not at my computer to verify that as I write this). Another option is to use Ditto, which allows you to create zip archives.

I have been using Rsync with sparse disk images, which is nice because the disk image will be no bigger than needed.
