Hi,


We will consider using 'pigz' in future version releases.

Thank you for your contribution.

Please, add pigz option to next build. It's very more fast!

Please consider pigz for better backup speed for large databases. Another option would be to change the compression format of mysqldump to ZSTD, which is much faster and more efficient.

Hello,

Thank you for your continued support and interest in JetBackup. As this was originally a request for JB4, we have gone ahead and updated the Category to JB5. Please keep in mind that we do utilize the voting system to gauge the amount of interest in a feature, so the more votes a request has, the more likely our developers will be to consider it.

Best Regards,

The JetBackup Team

Hello Everyone,

This feature has been implemented as part of v5.4.0.

Case JB5-Base #1247 – Feature: Added support for pigz

Support for pigz has been added, improving compression performance by utilizing multiple CPU cores during backup operations.

We appreciate the suggestions—feel free to share any additional feedback.

Thank you,

The JetBackup Team
