You can choose one of the following storage optimization options: You do not need to create a new full backup to use new settings - Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will automatically apply the new compression level to newly created backup files.ĭepending on the type of storage you select as a backup target, Veeam Agent uses data blocks of different size, which optimizes the size of a backup file and job performance.

They will be applied to new backup files created after the settings were changed.Ĭompression settings are changed on the fly. New settings will not have any effect on previously created backup files in the backup chain. You can change data compression settings for existing backup jobs. We recommend that you use the extreme compression level only on Veeam Agent computers with modern multi-core CPUs (6 cores recommended). Provides the smallest size of the backup file but reduces the backup performance. Provides additional 10% compression ratio over the Optimal level at the cost of about 10x higher CPU usage. It provides the best ratio between size of the backup file and time of the backup procedure. The default recommended compression level. You can select this compression level if you want to decrease the load on the CPU of the Veeam Agent computer. Optimized compression level for very low CPU usage. The ARP bolts are much more stable against the high combustion chamber pressures and can even be reused.This compression level is recommended if you plan to store backup files on storage devices that support hardware compression and deduplication. Additionally, we recommend the use of ARP bolts or studs instead of normal cap screws. However, please note that our gaskets are always made to order. For this purpose, we offer racing gaskets in 0.1 mm increments for most engines. In order to arrive at the appropriate compression later, it most makes sense to do this via the thickness (gauge) of the head gasket. This makes sense, if your engine code is not in our list, or if you have made big changes to your engine hardware like other pistons for example. You can fill all the data manually in the grey fields.Thicker head gaskets will drop your compression ratio.

All values will be filled out automatically and you can „play around“ with the thickness of the head gasket. Choose your engine code from the drop down menu.Here you can easily calculate the compression of your engine.
