Hi Joshua
I am using a dump disk and these backups are all local. I am using the
following compressions to ensure that the data actually fits on a disk.
define dumptype tgz-best {
program "GNUTAR"
options compress-best, index
priority high
dumpcycle 0
}
define dumptype tgz-fast {
program "GNUTAR"
options compress-fast, index
priority high
dumpcycle 0
}
define dumptype tar {
program "GNUTAR"
options no-compress, index
priority medium
dumpcycle 0
}
