Topic : Unclear Feature since 2.9.4

Hi @softaculous ,

can you please further explain this feature introduced in 2.9.4:

Quote
7) [Feature] We have added support for PIGZ Compression. During migration and backups, if compression is enabled GZip is used to compress the files. PIGZ is a faster compression utility and uses threading.


We had a long discussion about using gzip, pigz, lzop etc. and how it is implemented in Virtualizor.

I do understand the feature description so, that if we enable compression for backup/migration gzip is used. If compression is not enabled pigz is used.

Is that correct?

As we had a long discussion about this here

https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&title=Way_Faster_VPS_backups

I assume that pigz support does not work out of the box.

Hi,

if we enable compression for backup/migration gzip is used. If compression is not enabled pigz is used.

>> If pigz package is present on your server and compression is on then pigz will be picked up and if pigz is not present on server and compression is on then gzip will be used.
