File Compression
Plexus Online Backup compresses
your files before it encrypts and sends them to our data centre.
This saves backup time and storage space because your compressed
file is significantly smaller.
Plexus Online Backup uses state-of-the-art compression technology
to achieve the best compression possible. Compression rate varies
for different types of files. Microsoft Word documents and most
databases can achieve 80% compression. Other files, such as photos
and music files are often already fully compressed.
The following table demonstrates average compression rates for
common types of data files.
