Hi to all. I'm in the same behavior as Hermant, this is a small feature that could help a lot of people like us. Normally T. Horsnell everybody will enable HW compression over SW in a tape device. Ralf I will request again this, hope in the future this could be possible and make bacula get more stronger. Thanks all for your time!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
