Hi all, Can I safely pump a filesystem dump through gzip during the dumping = process?, or di I need to create the dump first then gzip it after? Does zipping the dumps cause any headaches at restore time? (I currently dump 5 servers worth of data to a raid 5 array, and am = about 20% away from running out of disk space). Does gzipping a file give a decent compression ratio? -Grant
