Hi all,
Can I safely pump a filesystem dump through gzip during the dumping process?, or di I need to create the dump first then gzip it after?
Does zipping the dumps cause any headaches at restore time?
(I currently dump 5 servers worth of data to a raid 5 array, and am about 20% away from running out of disk space).
Does gzipping a file give a decent compression ratio?
