Flemming,

If you try to recompress a file it will grow in size on you plus over work your 
CPU, the TSM client is smart enough to know the difference between a file 
that's already compressed and one that is not.

COMPRESSION YES
COMPRESSALWAYS NO (Always!)

Also, if compression is set to yes, turn off the compression on your tape 
drives, you'll have the same issue!!!

Hi all

I have read most of the bulletins about NetWare and slow backups - and =
one of those issues there keeps coming up in most of these bulletins, is =
about compression.=20

I really need the Client compression, but my question is:

 - Should you use the '"COMPRESSALWAYS  YES"? If not why?

Best regards
