Hi to all.
I'm in the same behavior as Hermant, this is a small feature that
could help a lot of people like us. Normally
T. Horsnell everybody will enable HW compression over SW in a tape device.
Ralf I will request again this, hope in the future this could be
possible and make bacula get more stronger.
Thanks all for your time!!!
