Robo Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Wondering if leaving the Data Compression box, in the Options section, unchecked is the most advisable thing to do. Info seems to indicate that Dantz uses "lossless" compression, so that files with no redundancy will not be compressed, but I am seeking a professional confirmation of this. We want to be sure of absolutely ZERO audio data loss if choosing to compress... Anyone know more information about this subject? Thanks for your help.

AmyJ Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Retrospect compresses files into its own proprietary format using a "lossless" compression process. This means that Retrospect compresses your data in such a way that all original bytes of your source data are preserved. This is similar in concept to the popular compression utilities PKZIP (Windows) and StuffIt (Macintosh), which compress and decompress preserving the original data byte for byte. If you back up a file using Retrospect's software data compression, and then you restore that file, you get back every byte, exactly as it was when you performed the backup.
