I can't see a way in 2.4.x, but maybe it's present in the
3.0.x code...  I would like to compress my Incremental backups,
but not my Differential backups or Full backups.

I keep my incremental backups on disk.  They never transition
to Tape.  My Differentials run weekly and I keep a week and a
half of Differentials before they rotate to tape.  Fulls are
run Monthly and rotate to tape 35 days after creation.

So, my Fulls and Differentials I don't want compressed because
the Tape drive will eventually take care of that with hardware
compression.  But since the Incrementals never hit tape I'd
prefer to have them compressed.

Is there a way of doing this?
