Thanks for the reply.

No, the disk pool isn't cached (just double checked).   It is 7GB large
and the user is trying to archive 19GB.

I will pass on the info about the compression options. For now, I forced
OFF from the server.

you obviously have cached diskpool(s)
run with
        compression yes (in dsm.sys)
and
        compressalways no (in dsm.opt)

if a file grows withh compression, compressalways tells it to send it
uncompressed...
