In the case of the server I'm currently testing, this seems to be the
case. The difference between compression and no compression was exactly
zero: same time both ways.
I looked into the target more closely: it has single-spindle drives (no
RAID arrays), and was connected to the network via 100Mb. I can't change
the target's drives, but I moved the server to 1Gb and restarted a full.
We'll see what happens...
I would not expect the network speed changing from 100Mb to 1Gb to make a
difference: this server is literally unchanged from one run to the next.
BackupPC literally shows zero files changed! So the network bandwidth
shouldn't make a difference: all it should be doing is passing hashes
back and forth...
We'll see what happens, though, and I'll let you know.
