I am using compiled on the gentoo systems, and binaries on the Centos and
Debian based systems.
I have put (my error) a Plugin Directory = ... into the Client, when I removed
that the compression came on OK
I did have zlib installed ok.
so problemsolved.
Thanks for the very useful input and information.
Regards to you all
Francis

Hi!
The compression is done on the client side.

Maybe you are missing the zlib package or something similar.
I am using raspberrypi with raspberrian with some projects and I can
confirm that the compression works fine there.
You don't need /usr/lib/libz.a in order for the compression to work.
You might need the zlib devel package only if you plan to recompile
bacula yourself.

It depends on your compile time options.
If you don't set the Plugin Directory bacula will use the default
which is /usr/lib64/bacula in my case.
