It is impossible, because compression is done in the bacula-fd. The copying code (bcopy and Bacula's own copy/migration jobs) runs entirely without the bacula-fd. You could look at using a compressing filesystem to hold the backups (e.g. zfs or something based on fuse http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=CompressedFileSystems). __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
