i am, in vain so it seems, ( i find this web site torturous to navigate )trying to get help with a back up data compression problem. I run ArcServe on NT4.0. I use DDS3 12 GB( native capacity ) Sony Tapes with a HP SureStore Dat drive but can only achive 90% data compression: these tapes should hold 24 GB of compressed data. Each Arcserve backup session is flagged by &quot;w3032 compression is disabled due to hardware data compression&quot;. Can someone please help with my compression problems.<br>Thanks<br><br>PS bumble is my handle how can someone else have it !!!!
 
Arcserve is disabling the Software Compression as your Hardware supplies the compression.<br>Compression varies due to the types of files.&nbsp;&nbsp;Zip files don't compress where as text files will compress a lot.
