Running it every night Dustin & the only wart is the reported compression in 
the emailed report, that is generally completely bogus.  I have posted about 
it, but no one replied AFAIK.

Typically off just enough to be obvious, occasionally wildly, glaringly 
obvious.  Most reports aren't this wild though:

Avg Compressed Size (%)   467.0        --        52.0   (level:#disks ...)

Other than that, I don't have any indications of trouble.  If I did, you would 
already know about it. :)
