Ron,
I have found that Netware does a better job at compressing most files and ADSM 
will come up with lots of "Compressed File Grew" errors during a backup.  This 
means ADSM's compression actually caused the file to be larger than what 
NetWare was able to accomplish.  This can also be seen with non-compressed 
volumes that have zipped files on them.  I will cause the backups to take (just 
estimating here) about twice as long to complete a backup if there are lots of 
"Compressed File Grew" errors.

Patrick,
Why should ADSM compression be disabled if volume compression is?
