DropBox full compressed backups

[sonixax]

Hi,
In your Wiki you just wrote :

Using thie backup destination for accounts with large amount of files is not recommended. Due to DropBox API limitations, there is too much overhead for each file, which makes file transfers very slow.

We recommend using this for full compressed backups only.

for DropBox Destination! Here : http://wiki.jetbackupmanager.com/dropbo ... estination

However, Compressing option is disabled in DropBox Destination!
How can I activate it for DropBox Destinations ?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

JetBackup currently doesn't support compressed backups. We only copy files, without compressing them.

You can however use cPanel's internal backup to create the compressed backups to a local folder, and then use JetBackup to push these backups to the remote dropbox folder.

The backup job can be executed right after cPanel backup is finished, so you they will never work together - http://wiki.jetbackupmanager.com/one-by-one-jobs

I think you will also be able to restore from there too, but I never tested this scenario before

You can open a support ticket with us, so we can help you configure this
