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

Let us know for further information.]]> Thu, 10 Feb 2022 06:11:58 GMT https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p54424 <![CDATA[Way Faster VPS backups]]> https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p54402 Sat, 05 Feb 2022 19:40:14 GMT https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p54402 <![CDATA[Way Faster VPS backups]]> https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p51885
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]]> Mon, 13 Apr 2020 23:03:09 GMT https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p49272 <![CDATA[Way Faster VPS backups]]> https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p48982

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.

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.]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2020 16:02:59 GMT https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p48912 <![CDATA[Way Faster VPS backups]]> https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p48396 ]]> Mon, 13 Jan 2020 14:26:53 GMT https://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=14659&tpg=2#p48396
