Hi Joe, I strongly agree with Matt. I've done then same thing, that is client side compression and hardware compression on tape. With TSM, with Networker - I've never seen problems. On the server sid

A long while back, I had 36 boxes of the following config: Pentium 100's, 128MB RAM, 16Mbit Token Ring, running OS/2 2.11 with Lan Server 4, Notes 4.1, backing up mail files as flat files. Turned cli

Peter, If I'm running compression on all of my clients, why would I attempt to turn it on at the devclass level. The only thing I can see it doing is prevent me from streaming because it's first goin

Nick, I have client compression turned on also due to slow network (have no choice). But no one has been able to answer the following questions definitively: 1. Am I potentially doubling the size of

I'll throw in a slightly different twist. Maybe it has been in the thread already but I missed it. We have the majority of clients running without compression. We also provide backup services for som

1. Yes. Trying to compress an already compressed file can cause the file to grow larger. 2. No. We run a 3494 Magstar - hardware compression is ALWAYS on, you can't override it. It is controlled with

1. Am I potentially doubling the size of certain files in the stg pool by running multiple compression algorithms.? No - the drive logic won't compress already compressed data, so there's no real ris

1. Hardware microcode is smart - software can be stupid. Using "compression yes" and /or "compressalways yes" can and will cause some files to increase in size. 2. We have compression turned on withi
