Optimizing

This chapter discusses the following topics:
Whether you should compress your files before backup. See
"Compressed Files" on page
How to increase speed when backing up your files. See
Performance" on page
How to enhance or optimize server performance. See
Packet Receive Buffers" on page
How to synchronize memory between your media and your server. See

WARNING:
SBCON and file compression should not be run simultaneously.
Because the default time for both delayed SBCON sessions and compression is
midnight of the current day, change one of these defaults to another time
immediately.
If you want to perform a delayed backup that includes files flagged for
compression, schedule the delayed backup after the compression time to allow
time for the compression to be completed.
When a NetWare 6 volume is mounted, file compression is set to On by
default. When you perform a backup, you can specify whether to keep already
compressed files in a compressed state for the backup, or back them up in a
decompressed state.
