Enable Compression on an existing container

You can enable inline and post-process compression on an existing container. Follow this page from the help docs, and you will find the compression settings under "advanced settings" on the update screen:

Once you enable inline it will take affect immediately, and once you enable post-process it will go back and compress already existing data once curator runs after your specified time delay. Please keep in mind that you may not be licensed for post-process compression, as it requires at least Pro licenses on your cluster.

+4Thanks for your reply. Another question arises concerning this topic; can I activate compression on only one side of a synchorous protected container?(metro availability)
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

They are independent of each other so that should be just fine.
I dont understand why you would only do it on one side and not the other though 🙂
