Howdy, we have Novell and Unix ADSM clients. The unix clients backup data to
ADSM using compression. The Novell clients do not use compression but I think
Netware uses a compressed file system format anyway. On our ADSM server, someone
setup the DLT deviceclass with a format of DLT35C, meaning to do hardware
compression. I am thinking that we should not be doing hardware compression
since we already backup compressed files. I believe it is possible to increase
file sizes in some cases by doing double compression. Should we turn off
hardware compression?
