Hi Guys

Is there a way to disable gzip on my backups?
gzip eats too much CPU, and i have no problems with storage space, so tar is fine with me.

Thanks
:)
 
Hello,

There is no option to change tar.gz to just tar, the compresion command is internal to DA.

However, you can in theory disable the compression commands completely using the all_pre.sh
http://help.directadmin.com/?query=all_pre.sh

Also, a plugin would in theory be possible to compress files as the user however you want. Plugins run as the user, so it takes a certain degree of any security issues out of the picture.
