Multi-threading support for Zip compression
Most good Zip type compression tools (e.g. 7-Zip etc) allow for using multiple threads/cores when compressing data. This allows either much more compression in a given timeframe and/or much faster compression speed.
As I understand Backup4All only uses a single core for compressing data so it is a bit limited for todays CPU's with 8+ cores.
You have settings for mult-threaded support elsewhere within Backup4All Iand I think compression just cries out for it as well.

Re: Multi-threading support for Zip compression
Hi,
The multithreading option in Backup4all applies to upload process only and it can use multiple cores if necessarily.
I will add your request on our Wishlist, for multithreading while zipping the files.

Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html
