just gettign amanda going on a new install and from what i can tell, the
dang thing is ALWAYS running compression server side, and in --best mode
DESPITE the dumptypes defining compression to be done on the clients, and
in --fast!
The tape host really does not have the CPU to do this....
i'll include relevant amanda.conf snippets if wanted.
(output of pstree below that shows the gzip children...)
