Using On-the-Wire Compression
Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2007
Compression decreases the size of data being transferred during replica creation and synchronization, and it allows more data throughput with less impact to network performance. However, this option adds to the CPU load on both the DPM server and the protected computers. The amount of compression and improvement on network performance depends on workload.
Compression is enabled for a protected computer and applies to replica creation, synchronization, and consistency check operations. Recovery jobs also use compression.
To enable on-the-wire compression
In DPM Administrator Console, click Protection on the navigation bar.
In the Actions pane, click Optimize performance.
On the Network tab, select Enable on-the-wire compression.
To apply your changes, click OK.
