I'm debating the question: to compress or not to compress. The benefits of compression are obvious: 1) Backups take less space
The drawbacks I've come up with: 1) Requires more cpu 2) One more thing to go wrong (are errors in compression very likely?) 3) Typically, the largest files are already compressed (for instance, zip files, jpg, mp3, mpg) Does BackupPC have any logic built-in to help it avoid attempting to compress an already-compressed file format? -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
