Novell® Storage Services™ file compression uses algorithms to reduce the amount of space a file consumes in your storage system. Compression can optionally be used to conserve disk space and increase the amount of data a volume can store. No data in the file is permanently eliminated to compress the file; all original data is recovered when the file is decompressed.
