Yeah, I've run into that before.  It's actually not really netware's
fault.  They have a switch in the SMS modules so that backup software
can tell SMS to force an uncompress of files before they get backed up.
That way, the files can get restored anywhere.  Arcserve, for instance,
supports this.

It would be nice **HINT HINT IBM**, if the TSM netware client also
supported it.  As it stands now, in a disaster situation, we'd have to
remember what type of volumes each server had (NSS, TFS, compressed,
uncompressed), and recreate them EXACTLY, before we'd be able to restore
anything.   Yes, it's in our documentation, but still.....Yuck.

At any rate, I don't think that's the problem here, as the files I'm
interested in are not getting compressed.  Compression's turned on at
the volume level, but only 244K is actually being compressed on the
entire drive.  The dsmsched.log, by the way, just says "File
blah\blah.bla exists, skipping"  for everything.  It completes, and
seems to think everything is fine.

NetWare is notorious for not allowing files backed up with NSS or
compressed volumes to restore to volumes that are otherwise. Try
running
the process manually and see what happens, and also take a look at the
schedule log dsmsched.log.
