No problem, the Site works this time more or less.

Quote:as we already stated, a "gzip" is much less cpu conserving than the bzip2 compression - and it's not *that* much bigger.

I think this would help many hosting companies - not everyone can buy a new and always fast server.

Right! So we should really change to gzip. Did not Zothos started to do a script change ?

I would really welcome this change. Major +1

Wouldn't you rather sacrifice a little more disc space for a less intensive CPU operation? We already know this is the cause, so why can't we use gzip as the default method in ispCP. Maybe someone should file a ticket?

AFAIR rats decided to go the bzip2 way, you should ask him first

Hi RatS, can we change the backup compression from bzip2 to gzip?
gzip is not *that* good in compression (but only minimal bigger than bzip2 with normal web data) *but* uses far less cpu time and therefore ressources. It's doing the job in less than half of the time.
We'd love to read from you.

I sent RatS a PM about it yesterday.
We will see...

RatS answer:

Quote:Ich hatte irgendwann einmal bz2 aus Platzgründen eingeführt; das war noch zu VHCS-Zeiten. Das kann natürlich auch geändert werden. Werde mir das mal vor nehmen.

Looks like RatS is with us and we can try to switch to gzip!

Great news What's the next step? Someone creates a ticket and it gets actioned?

[BeNe]

I have some time to try the switch, and maybe some other guys are with me!? Joxi and Zothos ?

i have already tryed to switch. But not yet tested if it works as it should.

here is my patch if someone wanne test what i did.

I just replaced --bzip2 at the backup tar command, with --gunzip.
