Well I for one want to know exactly what my clients are backing up. The only
way to tell that is with compession off or as Wanda said, it will only
report the actual amount of compressed data that is backed up. Also, we have
AIT tape drives and I have found that reclamation and tape to tape copies
take extraordinary amounts of time if the data is already compressed(client
compression). It is for these reasons that I force compression off at the
server for all my clients.
