Forum|alt.badge.img+14

Hello,

 

What is best practices Software Compression setting to reduces storage space? Automaticly its on SP but when are you suing compressie on Client and Media Agent? Or maybe turn compression off?

@Egor Skepko It all depends on resourcing, typically you want to offload the compression of the client to reduce the amount of CPU cycles used during backups, but that depends on the size of the MA and the amount of clients / streams running backups in parallel.
