Hello,
Software compression occurs on the WD Arkeia Client when a non dedupe backup is performed.
In this scenario, the data is compressed on the client machine and written to the RA3400 disk storage
in a priprietary format. (non human readable files).
When the tape replication occurs, the (non human readable files) are copied to the magntetic tape media.
Disabling the Software compression will only write the (non human readable files) to the disk storage
in an uncompressed format. The backup on disk will still be copied to the tape media in the same format.
How To: Disable Software Compression
* Open the WebUI to Backup > What to Backup
* Select the Savepack
* Click “Modify”
* Set the Compression/Deduplication Type to “No Compression”
* Click OK to save the changes.
