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 certain files in the stg pool by 
running multiple compression algorithms.?

2. By turning off DEVCLASS compression, is that effectively disabling hardware 
compression performed by my tape device (IBM 3590 TAPE Device / Cartridge)

3. If client compression and hardware compression are turned on, and hardware 
compression isn't really buying me anything... won't the attempt at hardware 
compression prevent streaming?  I think it
will.

I'm looking for YES/NO answers with a valid explanation.  Anyone?????

Regards, Joe
