Instance Attribute Details

#level ⇒ Object

Specify the level of compression to use.

Values should be a single digit from 1 to 9. Note that setting the level to either extreme may or may not give the desired result. Be sure to check the documentation for the compressor being used.

The default ‘level` is 6.

def level
  @level
end

#rsyncable ⇒ Object

Use the ‘–rsyncable` option with `gzip`.

This option directs ‘gzip` to compress data using an algorithm that allows `rsync` to efficiently detect changes. This is especially useful when used to compress `Archive` or `Database` backups that will be stored using Backup’s ‘RSync` Storage option.

The ‘–rsyncable` option is only available on patched versions of `gzip`. While most distributions apply this patch, this option may not be available on your system. If it’s not available, Backup will log a warning and continue to use the compressor without this option.
