# PreCompactionBackup

Set `PreCompactionBackup` to `True` to automatically perform a backup of key files whenever a DRECOMPACT index action is sent (either from a Web browser or by a Content component schedule). Content backs up the files before it compacts the data index, so that you can restore them if an error occurs.

Set `PreCompactionBackup` to `False` if you do not want to back up before compacting (a backup requires significant disk space).

If you set BackupCompression to `True`, Content also compresses the backup according to the value of BackupCompressionLevel.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | True
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Schedule
Example: | `PreCompactionBackup=False`
