That doesn't really make sense to me...if that were the case, wouldn't it
affect all of the clients?  In any case, I manually turn off the hardware
compression before every backup.  One thing that has me curious is this:

Avg Dump Rate (k/s)      1491.9     1491.9        --
Tape Time (hrs:min)        4:00       4:00       0:00

That speed looks a bit slow for a DLT7000...closer to what you'd expect
from a DLT4000.  Is there some kind of timeout at 4 hours?
