Videos - compress or not?

Getting Help
1

I’m going to be doing a new daily snapshot of a web server. This server has a ton of video content, in the region of 7TB.

Without running the tests, is it worth me excluding the video from the normal backup with compression on, then running it’s own backup with compression off? The video is all H264 and AV1.

Thoughts?

I don’t think it makes much sense to turn compression off but I wouldn’t expect any space savings for those video files either. So it probably doesn’t make a difference. Post your test results though, please :innocent:
