Novell Netware File Compression
To save disk space, you can switch on file compression, so Netware will compress files if they have not been accessed for a number of days. You can change compression options from the Console Monitor, Server Parameter screen, then Common File System Parameters.
A couple of tips. You control when the server scans the file system and selects file for compression with the “Compression Daily Check Start Hour” and “Compression Daily Check Stop Hour” parameters. Make sure you schedule this to run at a quiet time.
Do not set the “Deleted Files Compression Option parameter” to ‘2’, as that would cause compression whenever a file is deleted but not purged.
You can easily uncompress recovered novell files in case of novell disk crash, using Recover Data Novell Data Recovery Software.
