How do you do.
Feature Request
Item 1: Implement a server-side compression feature
Date: 18 December 2006
Origin: Vadim A. Umanski , e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status:
What: The ability to compress backup data on server receiving data
instead of doing that on client sending data.
Why: The need is practical. I've got some machines that can send
data to the network 4 or 5 times faster than compressing
them (I've measured that). They're using fast enough SCSI/FC
disk subsystems but rather slow CPUs (ex. UltraSPARC II).
And the backup server has got a quite fast CPUs (ex. Dual P4
Xeons) and quite a low load. When you have 20, 50 or 100 GB
of raw data - running a job 4 to 5 times faster - that
really matters. On the other hand, the data can be
compressed 50% or better - so losing twice more space for
disk backup is not good at all. And the network is all mine
(I have a dedicated management/provisioning network) and I
can get as high bandwidth as I need - 100Mbps, 1000Mbps...
That's why the server-side compression feature is needed!
