Hi,

You can use best the hardware commpression.
On HP-UX there are losts of tools you can use like tar, cpio, fbackup ..., or use some backuptools like dataprotector/legato/TSM.

Ik you only need to copy local data to tape the HP-UX tools are ok. To have the best possible compression use a devive like:
/dev/rmt/c4t2d0BEST (on your system it will be different, but use ioscan -fnkCtape to check)

example using tar:
tar cvf /dev/rmt/c4t2d0BEST /etc
this will backup the complete /etc directory.

Onother tip, see "man 7 mt"

HTH,
Peter
