Does bacula compress on a file by file basis, or does it compress the entire data stream (I have the gzip option on)?
I ask because I use the subversion version control system, and it keeps complete copies of every file in hidden directories beneath the the main ones. I was wondering whether I should exclude them. Then I realized they might not take up that much more space if the compression is really smart. I probably could exclude those directories (the subversion hidden ones) without much loss, but if there's not much cost I'd just as soon keep them. I also realize that even if compression is not file by file the main file and the subversion copy may be too far apart to be recognized and compressed appropriately. Whether they would be compressed is really what I want to know, but I thought I'd ask a question someone could actually answer :) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
