Is there any reason that backuppc doesn't allow for files of certain type or ending to have compression skipped?
It seems like it would be beneficial to define lists based either on file endings and/or file types that would allow you to skip compression for certain already compressed media types. It's not clear to me what the benefit is of compressing large music, picture or video files that are already pretty efficiently compressed. Adding a compression can only slow down the transfer. Since there is already a pool and a cpool couldn't this be easily added? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
