If I'm reading the www.quantum.com web page right, it's 10/20 if you
use DLT-III tapes and 15/30 if you use DLT-III-XT.

This is a guess because I don't have FreeBSD (and nobody else has chimed
in), but the (FreeBSD) man page has a "comp" option that appears to
be able to turn compression on and off. If I were you, I'd add that
command to your own wrapper script around amdump (and amflush) so you
know it is set to the proper value every time.
