## Configuring Site Replication

- Configure an alias in `mc` for each of the sites. For example if you have three MinIO sites, you may run:

```sh

- All features currently used by your buckets will work as is without any changes
  - SSE (Server Side Encryption)
  - Replication (Server Side Replication)

## Prerequisites

- It is assumed you have users created and configured with relevant access policies, to start with
  use basic "readwrite" canned policy to test all the operations before you finalize on what level
  of restrictions are needed for a user.

## Overview

MinIO implements an S3 extension to list, stat and download files inside a ZIP file stored in any bucket. A perfect use case scenario is when you have a lot of small files archived in multiple ZIP files. Uploading them is faster than uploading small files individually. Besides, your S3 applications will be able to access to the data with little performance overhead.

```

Or alternatively through the environment variable `MINIO_COMPRESSION_ALLOW_ENCRYPTION=on`.

### 4. Excluded Types

- Already compressed objects are not fit for compression since they do not have compressible patterns.
Such objects do not produce efficient [`LZ compression`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78)
which is a fitness factor for a lossless data compression.
