I say client.
<Begin Religious Argument>
Here's why:
1) outboard the cycles
My ADSM server has enough to do. If it get someoneelse to do
the work so be it. (Can you say SETI! :) )
2) less work when reclamating, no?
Doesn't a compressed on the tape / compress by the server
file have to be un-compressed during data movement?
3) better/accurate reporting of tape utilization
I like the fact that my tapes report native amounts of
utilization. I know a 90% util tape is 90% and not 45%
4) less disk space.
The compression occurs on the tape so before that its wasted
space.
