Is there added compression on already compressed files (e.g. zip files)?Zip files and other compressed files are already efficiently compressed. Dakota Backup cannot improve on the compression, but the file will only be transmitted once. If the file should change, then delta blocking will be used to ensure only the changed portions of the file are re-transmitted. By default Dakota Backup will not perform compression on files that are already compressed.
