disable hardware compression on VXA-2 tape drive
Has anyone managed to disable the hardware compression
on the Exabyte VXA-2 tape drive ? I just maxed out the tape at 116 GB. I suspect that I might get better compression from my Backup Exec software. Thanks, Lynn McGuire

You do need to execute it each time the machine starts up as the drive defaults to compression enabled. Rob

it each time the machine starts up as the drive defaults to compression enabled. I did try that. Apparently it either does not work or Backup Exec does not respect it. It would be nice if it was a permanent change to the tape drive. Thanks, Lynn

Thanks, Lynn I'll check if there's a way to permanently set compression mode. If there is, I'll add it to vxaTool. Rob

Also, I have my email server set to automatically delete all emails containing exe files (after I got 4000 virus emails one weekend). Please zip the exe if so ! Thanks, Lynn
