Those configuration changes will only lower CPU consumption. Are you sure the bottleneck is CPU power and not disk I/O? In my experience, BackupPC does a lot of random I/O, so I usually find that optimising the filesystem, adding disk spindles and/or adding SSD cache makes BackupPC a lot faster.

Hi,

I am using BackupPC 3.2.1 (Debian package), I would like to improve backup speed and to reduce load on my server (7 and more).
Server has 2 GB ram (it is a virtual machine attached to a QNAP device).

I was thinking about:

- $Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'gzip';  ---> set 'none'
- $Conf{CompressLevel} = '3'; ---> set '0'

do you think this will be okay?
At moment I'd prefer to get better performance even if disk occupation on pool will be bigger.

Thank you
