 *** When creating the dataset, you have to take into consideration '''how''' this particular dataset will be used.
-*** In this how-to, we are assuming the storage will be used to store already compressed files, and the following screenshot reflects that.

+**** Compression level: Inherit (lz4)
 **** Share type: Windows
-**** Enable atime: Off (unless your backup solution scans this share, then turn it on)
+**** Case Sensitivity: Insensitive
-**** ZFS Deduplication: Off
+**** Enable atime: Inherit (on) (you can turn this off for a small performance boost, but doing so will potentially break some backup programs)
