This will cause a problem presumably, if you do backups on an LZO client
(such as I'm considering on my SPARC T2 hosts, weedy CPU cores) then if
necessary you can't restore these backups to a GZIP only client.

It essentially limits the restore clients to those who also have LZO
installed, yes?

Also, are you sure  LZO has to be on the dir and sd ? Seems to me its fd
that's doing all the lzo stuff.
