And the first one would be data compression. You're given several different options for data compression. The first one is no compression whatsoever. Now the advantage to no compression is that your backups will run faster. However, there's not that much difference in speed. The next one would be deduplication friendly. So this is optimized compression for very low CPU usage, and you would want to select this if you want to decrease the load on a backup proxy server.
