Re: tapedev=otherhost:/dev/nst0 ?
Thank for your reply I know the client best option but it dont fit my needs. The clients are Windowses, and I have a spare Linux not in production to carry the load compression.

RE: tapedev=otherhost:/dev/nst0 ?
Then make the spare Linux box the one that uses the Samba client to pull data from the Windows boxes. We've been doing that here for a while with no problems.
