I'm wondering if would be possible to run a command just after client transfers file data but before it's stored in backuppc pool. My idea is to do an image compression, like jpeg-xl lossless, instead of the standard zlib one.
Have you considered using a compressing filesystem on the server?

The data can be compressed on the client by the transfer tools during the transfer. This can be purely to reduce network load and it can be independent of any compression (perhaps by a different method) of the data when it is stored by the server. The compression algorithms for transfer and storage can be chosen for different reasons. Of course if it is required to perform multiple compression and/or decompression steps for each file, the server will have to handle an increased load. This can all be more or less transparent to BackupPC. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
