How do I configure an HP Ultrium 1-SCSI LTO-1 tape drive??

[Tom Lyczko]

I want to turn on hardware compression in this tape drive.

Hardware compression is already selected within the backup software (BEWS 12), but it appears not to be working properly.

Thank you, Tom

Hi Tom,

As you still seem to be having problems, I would recommend using LT&T to make sure that everything is correct hardware wise.

If that tests out OK, then I would suspect a problem with BE.

Cheers,

Rob
