Hi
I use an lto-9 drive for backup. I activated hardware compression on the tape 
(i think) but all the logs of bacula show a tape change at 18TB which should be 
the native (uncompressed) capacity. From experience I would expect a ratio of 
at last 1:1.2. Is there any way to make sure to use compression (or as last 
resort activate software compression)?
