I have 2 questions relating to gzip. 1. I have all of my gzips set to fast instead of best but whenever amdump is running there will be a gzip --fast and gzip --best for every file that is in my holding disk. What are the reasons behind this? 2. quoting a colocation facilitys website: "We use bzip2 instead of gzip for data compression. Unlike gzip, bzip2 compresses data in blocks, which means that in the unlikely event that a small part of the backup is corrupted, only the affected block is lost. All other data is still recoverable." Is this true and if so is there a way to use bzip instead of gzip? Has anyone ever looked into this? Thanks, Ryan Williams
