Hi

change to compress line from none to server or client depending on where you want the compression to actually be done...
or look at a different dumptype that already does this for you...

Hi

I wanted to enable gzip compression on my backups since i want to
accomodate lots of data on to a 40GB tape, At present I am using


define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    index
    priority low
}
