#269 Issue closed: Disable tar compression¶
Labels: support / question
lpouellet opened issue at 2013-07-04 19:46:¶
I have tested both rsync and default NETFS backup methods and I have had
more issues with rsync. I would like to use default (tar), but I want to
store my backups on datadomain with depuplication, hence the requirement
to disable gzip compression. Is this something possible?
Thanks

The default.conf file contains the variable
BACKUP_PROG_COMPRESS_OPTIONS="--gzip"
You could redefine this in the /etc/rear/local.conf file as
BACKUP_PROG_COMPRESS_OPTIONS="" and give a shot again.

Hi, I was sure I had tried that without success... But it does work,
feel dumb now ;)
Thank you
