System Compression
This feature is provided, since the DS-Client has the option to configure backup sets with no compression. It gives you (the service provider) the option to compress any uncompressed data stored on the DS-System online storage.
- DS-Client key forwarding must be enabled, and the key(s) must be forwarded to DS-System.
- Note: For instructions on configuring DS-Clients to forward their encryption keys, see "Encryption Keys Tab" ("DS-System Configuration").
- It is at backup set level only, (on demand) via DS-Operator.
- It has a multi-threaded option allowing you to specify the number of threads to allocate to the compression process.
To compress a backup set's existing online data via DS-Operator:
1. In the Customer Tree, browse the Customers Tab until you reach the Customer > DS-Client > Backup Set you want.
2. Right-click > Run System Compression. The System Compression screen appears.
- F1 Help: See "System Compression".
