Re: Hardware compression not compress files on medium
How much data are you writing for your tests? Is it compressible?
Have you tried using LTT to test compression?

Re: Hardware compression not compress files on medium
Hello
Sorry for the delay
I have tested it with the LTT and the report shows that the compresstion is working
I have made a test on a compressable data with the size of about 20 GB, but the actual files size on disk is same on tape .
the actual data that we take back up for is about more than 1 TB
