When restoring LZO compresses files to a client without LZO compression a warning appears: Warning: Compressed data stream not supported on this Client. When restoring the same data on a client with LZO enabled all works fine. So, at least on my FreeBSD systems, LZO is not needed on SD and DIR only on client.
