We have added zstd and lzop compression for backups in coming patch (3.0.9.3).

Let us know for further information.]]>

When can we expect zstd support for backups in virtualizor?

Unfortunately Virtualizor still does not allow to select the compressor binary that it should use, so we need to do it on OS level.



We been using the pzstd and it really works great.

This is such a simple feature for Virtualizor to build in and has the largest quality of life benefit with regard to backups. I simply do not understand why they have not built this in yet.


Agree with this]]>

Glad to hear. I´m still scared that this maybe is not 100% compatible with gzip. (Because I never tested...)  As pigz is proofed working and performance is way better than gzip, I will stay with pigz for now.

<![CDATA[Way Faster VPS backups]]> https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p48978 You need to replace the gzip binary in /usr/bin/gzip with a symlink to /usr/bin/pigz
You may also want to add an exclusion to /etc/yum.conf, so that your symlink will not be overwritten with a new gzip binary:

Code
exclude=gzip

We have installed the pigz application to increase the speed for backups since they are very slow but backups continue to be done with gzip.

Can you tell us what changes we must make to enable the pigz to perform the backups?

Using centos 7, installed pigz using package manager, we even uninstalled, reinstalled pigz and restarted whole virtualizor vps node, same result.]]>
