Compression will not help in this case, since all compression must be done and 
undone by the clients cpu, this will put more load and the novell server and 
not alieviate it as you might think.  What are the sizes of the files being 
backed up (in general)? What is the size of the cpu that is being used on the 
server? How much ram is available? and last but not least what are the comm 
buffer settings on the client?
