Hi.

I am need some advice about using compression=yes for image backups


I need to perform image backups of mulitple disks on a windows 2008 server.  
Most of them have like 1.45T of size.

We are running out of tapes and I was thinking in using compression.  I know 
that it is recommended to set compressalways=yes on the TSM server when using 
compression, but I am not using compression for all the backups.  Is this 
parameter transparent for the client servers that dont use compression=yes?

Also, how recommended is using compression for image backups??  I know that it 
is going to increasse the time that the backup takes but I have a lot of time 
windows to perform those image backups (All the weekend)
