The medium compression level of the above test version uses the same ZSTD compression level as the medium compression level of Macrium Reflect. We've been thinking about whether we should use ZSTD at all compression levels. ZSTD offers a variety of compression levels, obviously the higher the compression level, the more CPU resources are consumed, when the CPU limit is exceeded, it will take longer to back up the same data, and the end result will be that we save some storage space but spend more time. However, in the long run, the performance of the CPU is constantly improving, so a higher compression level is better suited for the future, and of course we can change the compression level as needed in the future.
