Software compression question

Hey all. How does NW restore software that's been compressed. Let me ask this: does NW use hardware or software compression at all? I have a device that will and I don't want to compress a 'compressed' file if you know what I mean. How does it put it back if it is compressed. Just curious thanks

As a standard, in the client resource you would see an attribute called "Directives". You can drop down and select "NT with compression directives" or "UNIX with compression directives" based on your needs.

Alternatively, you can create your own directive under Configuration and apply it under the client resource as Daniel has mentioned.

If you use compression directives, Networker would compress it on client and send to the device. If you do not use compression directives, Networker will send data as is and the device would compress it if enabled there.

Thanks. Where do I find the NW compression directives at? This new 7.4 is great but hard to navigate!

You just need to create a directive and associate that with the client. Your directive will look like:

<<"/Folder">>
+compressasm:

Nw 7.4 Admin Guide has a list of directives in page 158, you may want to look there for more info if you need

I use both the standard and my own directives, they all work.
Take a look at the documentation, there are lots of simple examples there.
