On tape it usually does not make sense to use software-compression. When

different "Compression" options.
I may be dumb, but I DO have software compression of tape backups. Even
so, that in the fileset exclusions I try to evade compressing already
compressed file types.
Points here are that GZIP compresses better than tape firmware, and and
letting the tape firmware to compress already compressed stuff leads to
expanded file sizes.
I have found it helpful, and when bacula got that spooling option it
finally enabled this software compression, as it takes some time from
older machines to do it.
