Since our 957 does not support hardware compression on the 4mm DDS
     drive I have disabled the hardware compression on the 4mm DDS2 drive
     in our 959.  As an experiment I have enabled the compression on the
     4mm DDS2 drive in our 959 and started a full backup.  We use
     BACKUP3000 from Orbit Software with the COMPRESS=3 option, which is
     the highest compression.  There does not seem to be any significant
     decrease in backup time.  Does anyone else have any experience with
     this?

     Thanks,
