Just a question if you have not that much compressible file why then bother to use compression? If most of your files are already in compressed format, you're just spending time for almost no gain... What global compression is returned by the job? Try job speed between compression on and off and try to determine which between place and speed is the most appropriate. gzip2 is also quick and efficient. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
