I am using ADSM on OS/390(v1.3) to backup 3 Novell Netware Servers (v4.11) and
for some reason I keep getting a negative compression percentage.  Can anybody
tell me why this is happening and how I can stop it.  I could turn compression
off completely but with the amount of data were backing up I would like to keep
it on.
