Can it be done with jumers on the drive, or by DIP switches in the
autochanger's electronics? You're probably better off to set it via
hardware, though if that's not possible there should be a way to configure
the SCSI side of the Amanda software which communicates directly with the
tape drive to enable compression.
Regards,
Craig.
