CSM more efficiently uses available system disk space by keeping certain inactive and seldom-used files in a compressed state and automatically decompressing them when a user or program accesses them. Compressed files retain their attributes and appear as normal files but occupy less disk space.

CSM is able to recover large quantities of disk space, greatly reduce the costs of managing disk space, speed up backup, restore, and recovery, and eliminate human errors when juggling disk space.
