Compress Stored Data

To minimize the use of disk space, you can compress stored data on CA DataMinder servers and client machines. Specifically, you can compress the 'blobs' (Binary Large Object files). These contain policy data and, on the CMS and gateways, captured Web, e-mail and application data.

On the CMS or a gateway, both the captured data blobs and policy blobs are compressed. On client machines, only the policy blobs are compressed.

To turn on compression of stored data for a specific machine

1. In the Machine Policy Editor, browse to the Data Management folder.
2. Set the Compress Stored Data? setting to True.
