I can assure you that compression was NOT part of the earlier releases on 7.1.5 
on AIX.  I had to painfully tear down a system we were trying to convert to 
because compression was not included in the early 7.1.5 releases and dedup 
alone was not meeting saving expectations.

Minor correction.



Inline compression for container pools was added in March in 7.1.5.





IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1.5 - Inline compression:

- Performed in-line after deduplication to provide additional storage 

savings

- Negligible impact on resources – uses latest and most efficient 

compression algorithms

- Can potentially double (or more) your storage savings after 

deduplication
