Dear group, dear development team,
thank you for helping others with this very amazing piece of software!
Running the community version (18.2.5), entirely on Linux System (Client,
too).
I want to conserve disk space, because of that I would like to use file
compression, however, no matter which algorithm I choose from (LZ4, GZIP,
...) the volume size does
not differ. Now I suspect that there is no file compression at all. How can
I find out, whether, the file backup is done with compression? Are there
any logs telling this?
In bconsole I do not get any error messages, the backup Jobs work very fine
(result OK).
What is the usual effect (ratio, e. g. using gzip) when using file
compression?
For clarification this is the configuration file:
---------------------
FileSet {
Name = "BackupRoot"
Description = "Backup all regular filesystems"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
fstype = ext4
compression = gzip
}
File = /
}
Exclude {
File = /var/lib/bareos
File = /var/lib/bareos/storage
File = /tmp
File = /var/tmp
}
}
---------------------
Could it be that the option "compression" is ignored? Could it be there is
a syntax error? I am puzzled, in the documentation I see the options with
and without capital letters, all in capital letter, and again with no
capital letters, with spaces and with quotation, e. g. compression,
Compression, gzip, GZIP, compression=gzip, compression = gzip, etc.
Thank you for your help,
Udo Ullrich
