analog devices (i.e. tape!) I used it from necessity. Now, I just

No, it makes perfect sense for backuppc where the point is to keep as much history as possible online in a given space. If you have trouble with compression, just throw a faster CPU at it. Just anecdotally, I saw 95% compression recently on a system where someone requested including their web content directory and forgot to mention the 40Gb of log files that happened to be there.
