Re: [Bacula-users] LZO compression on FreeBSD

This will cause a problem presumably, if you do backups on an LZO client (such as I'm considering on my SPARC T2 hosts, weedy CPU cores) then if necessary you can't restore these backups to a GZIP only client.

It essentially limits the restore clients to those who also have LZO installed, yes?

Also, are you sure LZO has to be on the dir and sd ? Seems to me its fd that's doing all the lzo stuff.

Ah, I see. Nice to know this.

This should be documented in the Bacula manual!

Thanks for your help, Laurent.
