No Compression on LTO 9 tapes


Forum|alt.badge.img+10

Hi,
we have a new LTO 9 tape drive an there is no compression on my tapes.
In my storage policy hardware compression is enabled.
In my clients the option under software compression is set to “On client”.
Is there anything else i can do for compression?

Regards

Dennis

This is because the compression is being performed by Commvault before it writes the data to tape media, so there is nothing left to be compressed.
