Compression type |
Lets you choose from the following compression types:
-
None.
This option copies the data to the media in its original form (uncompressed). Using some form of data compression can help expedite backups and preserve storage media space.
Hardware data compression should not be used in environments where devices that support hardware compression are used interchangeably with devices that do not have that functionality.
In this situation, hardware compression is automatically disabled. You can manually reenable hardware compression on the drives that support it, but this results in media inconsistency. If the drive that supports hardware compression fails, the compressed media cannot be restored with the non-compression drive.
-
Hardware [if available, otherwise none]. Select
This option uses hardware data compression (if the storage device supports it). If the drive does not feature data compression the data is backed up uncompressed.
