We just switched from doing DB2 database dumps to disk and sweeping them
to TSM via dsmc to using the API and going direct from DB2 to TSM.

A quick search through the list archives did not turn up an answer to the
question, can we still compress the backups client side?

Basically, I want to save space in the disk storage pools and generate
less network traffic.  Especially considering the DB2 backups compress
somewhere around 70%
