Been a while and I'd have to double check but... You might not want to use compression if you use encryption... I believe it encrypts first then tries to compress and encrypted data doesn't compress (much). Something to double check.

I am running some tests myself, but the numbers are staggering (we're seeing up to a 300% increase in the backup time in some cases). I understand that it is largely based on the horsepower of the node, but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same, or if anyone knew a place I could get some additional info on encryption. Thanks in advance for your time, Josh
