How can you enable the hardware compression? I only have a logical device which I use with the -f flag of tar program.
mt -f /dev/nst0 datcompression 2
I don't think that this is a nice idea always. AFAIK it may happen that you cannot read back the tape data on a different drive (maybe if it's newer or from a different vendor). Once we had a old DAT drive that were out of order. Other drives were not able to restore the backup tape. Thank god we had aother such old model... oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
