You could do that as a separate host by setting $Conf{ClientNameAlias}
to point it at the real host, and then setting $Conf{CompressLevel}
to 0.
But that sort of fine-grain optimization is unlikely to yield
much benefit. Compression shouldn't increase the file size too
much and the cpu requirements aren't very high.
Here are some drawbacks:
- If you have taken any backups of that share with compression
enabled then you will have twice the storage requirements
(compressed and uncompressed) for those files.
- If any of those fils are copied (or cached) in some other
part of the file system, they will now appear in the
compressed file pool too, increasing server storage
requirements.
- One other minor issue is that rsync checksum caching (assuming
you have it enabled) doesn't work with uncompressed pool files.
