Current versions of Bacula don't support this. I don't know whether or not the upcoming release does or not. Have you tried using GZIP1 instead of GZIP? In my own experiments, I've noticed that GZIP1 uses noticeably less CPU than GZIP (which is actually GZIP6) and still accomplishes good compression. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
