This is completely unverified and refers to encryptionprograms that are rather outdated by now, though... But I suppose you could inform us if encryption in Bacula also compresses :-)Landon, what is your take on this? Since you wrote the code you seem to be the best source on whether the openssl functions you are using compress data.
Howdy,The encryption does not include compression -- It made more sense to piggyback on the existing compression code. Also, thanks for catching this! I'm embarrassed that I forgot to test backup+restore with both compression and encryption enabled.
