My amdump has just finished, and the report looks good:

During the run, I noticed a process called "gzip --best" being used by
amanda, however I have a "compress none" directive. I want to switch
to gzip in the future -- change compress to somethin non-none -- I
suppose that with software compression, the ORIG-KB and the OUT-KB
will differ.

And by the way, how can I disable the hardware compression in the scsi
tape device? Is there any way of doing so within amanda?

Cheers,

Rodrigo
