Question about Compression - 0% at end?


Recommended Posts

I've turned on compression and am using it for the first time.

 

So, in this session I backed up two drives. Each one had some compression applied (apparently). Yet at the end it says "0% compression". Why? Is this an error? Did I actually gain any benefit?

 

From my log (minor execution errors removed):
