+--------------------------------------------------------

|
|
+The compression level and algorithm don't affect deduplication. Chunk ID hashes
|
|
|
+are calculated *before* compression. New compression settings
|
|
|
+will only be applied to new chunks, not existing chunks. So it's safe
|
|
|
+to change them.
