It appears that the only way to turn off hardware tape compression is to have RunBeforeJob execute a script that turns off h/w tape compression with 'mt'. I did not see in either released or development documentation that there is a %? substitution for the tape device to be used for the Job about to run; for an autochanger this would allow turning off compression on just the drive to be used. Is that perhaps available but undocumented?
It is not a problem in this case as I will simply run a script that disables compression on all four drives. I don't think it will hurt to hit each drive every time a job is run. -- Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
