I assume you mean using BackupPC_zcat.
 
 For a new instance I'm thinking of storing the files without compression
 to be able to easily restore them directly from command line if needed.
 
 Is there anyone out here who has some experience about the average
 compression ratio in BackupPC? I know it depends on the type of data-
 most of them are office documents (Word and OpenOffice).

If you already have a working backuppc instance, look at the page for
any host.  The bottom table give you the compression ratios. I have
some hosts that routinely have 80% compression (database
backups). Others have 0-2% (data directories with most of the data
already compressed).

[BackupPC-users] Compression Experiences?

2014-10-12 Thread Christian Völker
Hi all,

I remember having read about restoring single files from command line
needs some BackupPC specific script or tricks to uncompress the files
when using ocmpression for BackupPC.

For a new instance I'm thinking of storing the files without compression
to be able to easily restore them directly from command line if needed.

Is there anyone out here who has some experience about the average
compression ratio in BackupPC? I know it depends on the type of data-
most of them are office documents (Word and OpenOffice).

Just share your experience,

thanks

Christian
