I think you should not use software compression from inside bacula in
this scenario. Try to get some transparent filesystem compression on the
lv/partition where your backups file volumes are. That has two 
advantages:

1. You don't need to bother about compression in bacula.
2. If you migrate a job from file to tape it won't be twice compressed.
   (If you backup to file, the backup get's compressed, if you migrate, 
   the contents of the file volume will be written on the tape but on a 
   per job basis and not on a per file basis, but the compression is on 
   a per file basis so I can't imagine, that the backups get
   decompressed for migration and zooom you have twice compressed data,
   which is most of the time bad.)

As I'm not an expert on bacula, take a grain of salt.

Your sincerely,

Eric
