Compression: Target files

[freesurfer]

Hello VV-Team

I have a question concerning the compression features in VV Pro:

I have a VV job that backups a big database file from another server over a very slow connection.
It would be nice to compress the datebase before the transfer (but the local copy on the other server has to remain uncompressed). It should only compress the database for the transfer and shouldn't replace the original uncompressed file.

Is this the case when I activate the option "Compress target files" in the job? Or can't I realize this with VV?


Thanks.

Hello Patrick

if you enable compression for the target folder, Viceversa will compress the database file while copying to target (just before). So the file is copied compressed. At the end of the execution, the source file will still be uncompressed, while the target will be compressed,

thanks!

Great.
Thanks a lot for the fast answer

The problem is that the source is on network share...
So VV can't compress the files without copying them the the local machine.

Is there a way that VV can compress the files on the share without copying it to the local machine? Or do you have any other suggestions how to solve this?

Thanks

The only way is to install ViceVersa on the machine where the share is... otherwise ViceVersa needs to read the data from the remote machine and only then it can compress it ...
