Set compression for remote backup copies.
Use compression to save space on your remote storage location. The compression feature is not compatible with the encryption feature. You can use compression or encryption, but not both simultaneously. Files backed up using the compression function must be restored using Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations.
If you enable both compression and sub-file copy, sub-file copy has precedence. This means that a file which has a size larger than the minimum for sub-file copy is not compressed, since it is subject to sub-file copy activity. Only files smaller than the minimum size for sub-file copy are compressed.
You do not have to choose either encryption or compression. By clicking the buttons, you can clear both buttons, and select neither encryption or compression.
