Hi Niall. Yes, I've already tried all this feature. For the compression to I've already tried bzip, gzip, hardware and so on. My impression is the next one. After each flexbackup-test-tape-drive It send me
Comparing... directory /etc/flexbackup.conf and /tmp/test2.10734 are différents FAILURE! Problem with tape driver or parameters. Please see the FAQ or try changing the $blksize, $pad_blocks, or $mt_blksize settings. SO I've tried to see what is talking about this /tmp/test. I modified the script and I copy them into a directory and when i open it it was just the /usr/bin/flexbackup. SO no idea but I continue.

If your tape drive has compression turned on, you should not use software compression. I would recommend using software compression where possible as you will get better predictions on size, and you will get better portability of your backups. It's far easier to recompile bzip2 for a new platform than it is to reverse engineer a compression algorithm on a chip when your Dell tape drive dies. What errors are you seeing in /var/log/flexbackup ? Why do you feel that the blksize is your problem?
