Hi,
i use USB-disks for backing up my server and a few clients. The full 
backups do not run overnigth (21h to 6h). I assume that this is due to 
the time needed for compression. The average compression rate is at a 
mere 30% because of the multi media files (many movies). Is it possible 
to exclude some filetypes from compression? Or did anybody try to use a 
parallel working version of gzip/bzip?

Thanks a lot
Malte Müller

Config:
Bacula5 on OpenSUSE 11.1
bacula-dir.conf, FileSet:
===========
FileSet {
   Name = "goldFileSet"
   Include {
     Options {
       signature = MD5
       compression=GZIP
       noatime=yes
     }
     File = /home
     File = /root
     File = /etc
     File = /usr/local/src
     File = /samba
     File = /opt
     File = /var
     File = /backup
     File = /srv
   }
   Exclude {
     File = /proc
     File = /tmp
     File = /.journal
     File = /.fsck
     File = /srv/backup
     File = /media
     File = /var/lib/mysql
     File = /backup
   }
}
