Hello all,

I wonder if a change in the compression settings (SW and/or HW) renders my
backups invalid.
More specifically:

All my client backups run with the compressasm directive. I now want to
remove this directive. Is it possible to restore the backups made with
compressasm to the client when compressasm is removed?

Is it possible to restore a backup made on a tape drive with HW compression
enabled from a tape drive where HW compression is disabled or vice versa?

Yes it's possible. All this will work.
