Is it possible to disable GZIP compression for jobs for a single 
schedule?  As even 'compression = GZIP1' makes a large difference in 
backup speed, I'd like to disable it for some of my tape jobs, since the 
LTO3 drive employs hardware compression anyways.  However, the same job 
definitions are used to run backups to local disk more often than things 
go out to tape, so GZIP compression is worth the extra time here.

Is there another way to go about this and achieve the same result?  I'm 
using Bacula for encryption and compression on my backups and the 
difference between having these both enabled and disabled is 10-20x.  
It's not bad hardware either.

Thanks,
Steve
