The compression option compresses files before you send them to the server. Compressing your files reduces data storage for backup versions and archive copies of your files. It can, however, affect Tivoli Storage Manager throughput. A fast processor on a slow network connection benefits from compression, but a slow processor on a fast network connection does not.
If you set the compressalways option to yes, compression continues even if the file size increases. To stop compression if the file size grows, and resend the file uncompressed, set the compressalways option to No.
If you set the compression option to yes, you can control compression processing in the following ways:
This option controls compression only if your administrator specifies that your client node can compress files before sending them to the server.
Use the compression option with the archive, incremental, and selective commands.
Supported Clients
