[pve-devel] [PVE-User] backup : add pigz compressor

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

About backup,

I would like to add a new feature :

As I m always afraid of problem which can occur with network backup through nfs (network saturated, latencies,...),

I would like to add an option, to backup to a temp storage (local ssd for example), then send the backup async (rsync for example),
to the destination storage. (big slow storage)

What do you think about it ?

I think better compression than lzop (but slower), but still faster than classic gzip. 


>>IMHO a parallel lzop would be nice. 

yeah. don't have find any implementation currently.

We already have lzop, which is as fast as pgzip and uses less resources. 
So what is the advantage of pgzip? IMHO a parallel lzop would be nice.
