Paranoid Backup
 
Zipper Module Quick Reference Type: transformation module Purpose: slows down a data stream, i.e. enforces a certain delay between the processing of subsequent packages in the stream. The benefit of using this module is that the computer’s performance doesn’t degrade too much when doing the backup in the background. Especially portable computers are noticeably slowed down when the hard disk is used too intensively. Configuration parameters: CompressionLevel: Sets the strength of the compression. Higher compression results in a smaller output, but requires more CPU time. Possible values are 
0: no compression (just archive all files into a single zip file)
1: fastest compression
5: medium compression
9: highest and slowest compression
 TargetFileName: The name of the zip file that the output stream of this module contains Input streams input: the incoming data stream that should be compressed Output streams output: contains the compressed version of the input stream Usage Example <Module id="zipper1" moduleType="Zipper"> <Configuration> <ModuleConfigurationItem name="CompressionLevel" value="5" /> <ModuleConfigurationItem name="TargetFileName" value="compressed.zip" /> </Configuration> <StreamMappings> <StreamMapping> <MyStreamName>input</MyStreamName> <ProvidingModuleId>reader_backupUserFiles</ProvidingModuleId> <ProvidedStreamName>output</ProvidedStreamName> </StreamMapping> </StreamMappings> </Module> Home Documentation Sample Configurations Quick Reference
