Hello, I definitly want to use compression for backups on disk.
It works pretty well, except for: - FIFOs - Windows clients. I haven't seen any information about this specific cases. Here comes a part of the configuration in the case you see anything wrong. The "full" FileSet has a good compression rate, while the "mysql-dump" FileSet report as the following: Software Compression: None bacula-dir.conf: [...] FileSet { Name = full Include { @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-fileset-common-include-options.conf File = / } Exclude { @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-fileset-linux-exclude-files.conf } } FileSet { Name = mysql-dump Include { @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-fileset-common-include-options.conf Options { readfifo = yes } File = /tmp/bacula-mysql-fifo } } FileSet { Name = windows-file-set Include { @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-fileset-common-include-options.conf @/etc/bacula/bacula-dir-fileset-windows-include-options.conf File = c:/ } Exclude { } } [...] /etc/bacula/bacula-dir-fileset-common-include-options.conf : Options { signature = MD5 compression = GZIP onefs = no fstype = reiserfs fstype = ext2 } bacula-dir-fileset-linux-exclude-files.conf: no interesting content. bacula-dir-fileset-windows-include-options.conf: no interesting content.
