Compressed backups
-
@frank-s This confirms my observations and tests that for compression to be active, data blocks must be enabled for remote.
-
@florent Can you please provide some summary on backup setup versus compression versus remotes configuration?
-
Hello @florent may I remind you to make this question clear, when and under what circumstances is compression used and when is it not? Thanks a lot.

@abudef
incremental backups on block storage are compressed with brotli in fastest mode. But this is enough to have a massive gain , since we compress all the zeroes.incremental backup ( *.vhd files ) on non block storage aren't compressed
Full backup (as in xva file ) aren't compressed by xo, but can be compressed by xcp ng ( using gzip or zstd )
for now, this is not configurable, we are waiting for the future remote form to handle this.

@florent Clear now, thanks!
