Definitely a good point. compression is not turned on though.

This is a new system I set up in the past month and I have not enabled  
software compression anywhere and do not find any references to it in any  
of my config files. (for that matter I'm not sure if I have hardware  
compression working on my LTO-4 drive, but I will get to that soon.)

One thing I forgot to mention is that these hourly backups are going to a  
file resource, not tape. That aspect seems to be working fine but just  
wanted to mention it.

Thanks
