May 9, 2023Data compression and deduplication let you decrease traffic going over the network and disk space required for storing backup files and VM
How does it work? Veeam Backup & Replication performs compression on a per-block basis, using the block size selected by the storage optimization settings. The proxy reads each block from the source disk and applies the compression algorithm to the block before transferring it to the repository.
Veeam Agent provides mechanisms of data compression. Data compression lets you decrease traffic going over the network and disk space required for storing backup files. This compression level is recommended if you plan to store backup files on storage devices that support hardware compression and deduplication.
