We had it on in the tdp piece and discovered on our smaller server systems
(H70 with 1TB db) ran better without compression on.  On our larger system
(S85 with 2 TB db) we have TDP compression on but can not run TSM
compression because it slows the backup.  TDP compression only eliminates
white space.

Hello,

Server AIX 5.1, TSM 4.2.2.8. Client AIX 4.3, TSM 4.2.1.35, and TDP 3.2.0.11

Question about compression.

We forced compression for this client at server-side, by setting option
Compression at client-node options to server. In client-option file there is
no compression-option.

We thought that this will be enough to compress also TDP -backup and archive
data. We checked and there is no compression. Tivoli Support say first that
TDP is compressing the files always, it a feature of TDP. And later they say
we have to activate this in TDP on the client.

I'm wondering how other sites set compression in this situation. On the
server, in TDP, on the client, ...

Thanx,

Brian.
