Compression level options
The following table describes the compression levels that you can apply to the recovery points.
See Scheduling a backup.
Table: Compression level options
| Option | Description |
| None | Indicates that no compression is applied to the recovery point. |
| | Use this option if storage space is not an issue. However, if the |
| | backup is saved to a busy network drive, high compression |
| | may be faster than no compression because there is less data to |
| | write across the network. |
| Standard (recommended) | Uses low compression for a 40 percent average data compression |
| | ratio on recovery points. |
| | This option is set by default. |
| Medium | Uses medium compression for a 45 percent average data |
| | compression ratio on recovery points. |
| High | Uses high compression for a 50 percent average data |
| | compression ratio on recovery points. This option is usually |
| | the slowest method. |
| | When a high compression recovery point is created, CPU usage |
| | might be higher than normal. Other processes on the computer |
| | might also slow down. |
