Recompress backup archive

Thread needs solution

Hi. Is it possible to backup a drive without compression and apply compression to it at a later time? This is useful when trying to get data off a failing drive in a hurry, and then compressing when the data is safely backed up on the destination drive. Thanks.

Hello John,

Thank you for posting. I will definitely assist you.

You can definitely do it, using a free utility like 7zip for example. However, we have not tested this approach and I am not certain that the .tib can be compressed.

Just in case, you can check this article from our KB that talks about image compression.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
