Hi Kelly, you're right. In todays networks client compression doesn't make too much sense.
When we did backups within a 4 mbit TR LAN (and also later with 16mbit TR) we really got an improvement using client compression. Today with at least 100 mbit client compression is near useless, it just saves some space in your disk storage pools. For mobile users that use <64kbit lines to backup you won't want to miss client compression... Greetings from Munich, Michael Kelly Lipp wrote: > > Probably.
