Openssl compresses _if_ compiled with zlib (it usually is) It's not hard to test, write to a file instead of tape media and compare size vs a tarball. If you are using a LTO device with built-in encryption then it's much faster as there is a dedicated engine for the task (LTO encryption is posrtable across drives as long as the key is retained) On that basis I'd only use bacula encryption for disk-based backups or on tape devices without builtin encyption. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
