WebGUI Compression

Support
#1

Hi! I’m new to Duplicacy and I am currently trying the webGUI version to backup to Backblaze B2.

I was, however, wondering how I would go about configuring compression of the files before uploading to B2. Is this something that’s preconfigured by default or does it require manual configuration?

I looked to see if there were any other forum posts discussing this, however, most of them I could find were from around 2016.

WebGUI version is 1.5.0 and the CLI version is 2.7.2 (I’m using saspus’ Docker image).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Compression is on by default and not configurable. (IIRC there were no benefits in making it configurable).

However, it might be a good idea to allow skipping compression on a user-specified files (by regex) – since there is little sense in attempting to compress video and other media files; this could save battery life and speed up the whole process. I like how Kopia implements that.

Yeah makes sense, I imagined that was probably the case. Thanks for your reply, and for the Docker image!

I definitely like the sound of this idea. Especially given most of the files I store that need backups are MP4s and JPEGs…
