Flemming, If you try to recompress a file it will grow in size on you plus over work your CPU, the TSM client is smart enough to know the difference between a file that's already compressed and one that is not.
COMPRESSION YES COMPRESSALWAYS NO (Always!) Also, if compression is set to yes, turn off the compression on your tape drives, you'll have the same issue!!! john Synovus Columbus, GA -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 14:08:54 +0200 From: Flemming Hougaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: NetWare, Compression & Slow Backups Hi all I have read most of the bulletins about NetWare and slow backups - and = one of those issues there keeps coming up in most of these bulletins, is = about compression.=20 I really need the Client compression, but my question is: - Should you use the '"COMPRESSALWAYS YES"? If not why? Best regards Flemming Hougaard ------------------------------
