Compressions occurs in Client.
You may test if the client version has compression enabled by default.
Do you compile by yourself the client daemon on the clients? Or you are
using binaries?

I am now wanting to try something different, and send my incremental backups to

You may want to get the VXA tools from the web site, probably exabyte.com,
since they bought Ecrix. The vxaTool is the best way to control compression;
I am not sure that mt will do that. I know that here mt does not work to

Did you try

And then possibly

Hi all -- -long time no talk.
I have a VXA1 with an autoloader (Exabyte). The drive can handle 33Gb
uncompressed and 70Gb with hardware compression. However, hardware
compression doesn't seem to be working.
Bacula won't put on more then roughly 33Gb.
