Netapp filers use NDMP (either using tapes attached locally, or using the DSA 
protocol to send via the network) to backup the server, rather than Legato's 
native client. In this case, Legato has nothing to do with how the backup is 
done on the client. The NDMP client (the NetApp) controls how the backup is 
done and merely streams the datasets within the Legato savestream. If there was 
any way to compress the data, it would be an option within the NetApp dump 
command. If there was any way to compress it, it would be in the NetApp 
documentation and be sent in the "Application information:" field within the 
Legato client.
