By Client compression do you mean the Compression=GZIP or the default 
compression? My Bacula is pretty much still default nothing special at this 
point....well apart from the amount of data being backed up. If it is not 
possible at this point is there a possibility in the near future for Bacula to 
include the ratio, by that I mean will it be possible for the Bacula to include 
the ratio from the Hardware?

ratio details in the notification e-mail. I went through the manual to see if 
there is a way but I can't find it, most probably missed it, but is there a 
way that I can do that?  

Bacula provides the compression ratio if you turn on Client compression, which 
I don't recommend especially with the results you are getting.  With hardware 
compression, Bacula has insufficient information.
