I wonder why the backup log file reports software compression none
although the debug output (-d 900) reports that files are compressed.
This happens only with the backup client running SLES 9 SP3.

*** Log file ***
Software Compression: None

*** debug output ***

Yes, I backup also some tar.gz files.
*** debug output ***

Bacula also compress these files but the data is larger than
uncompressed.

Any hint and suggestion is very appreciated on how bacula calculates the
software compresion ratio.


Best regards, Primus.
