I see no evidence in the save group report that any nsr.dir files were found 
and processed for
this save set, so I believe the only compression involved is the hardware 
compression taking
place in the LTO4 tape drives - which NetWorker is not able to see and report 
on.

So, I don't think compression is playing any role in this issue.

Thanks,
