raymartin Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I have an external USB Travan tape drive, and the backup is so slow it's painful. The compression ratio (software) is 2% or less. I have a lot of music, video and exe and dll files on the system. Would turning off software compression speed things up significantly for me? Turning it on does not appear to help (2%???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I doubt that you'd see "significant" speed increases, as only 2% of your data is compressible. The only way to know how much faster it will be is to actually run it without compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
