Some time ago, I've made some tests on a customer site. They have plenty data that could be compressed ( a 75% ratio ) With GZIP ( which is equal to gzip default level 6 ) we loose hours of compression to obtain finally only a 78% ratio compared to the gzip2 I actually use. Waht would be cool is to have multi-threaded bacula-fd using lzma compression :-)) -- Bruno Friedmann ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
