We have a number of filesets that get backed up both to tape and to

For performance reasons, we'd like to have gzip turned off during tape
backups, but for space reasons: on during disk backups.

It doesn't look as if there's a way to specify such a thing, aside from
creating seperate filesets - customized for the backup media.  Am I
missing anything?


I do weekly full backups to tape and daily incrementals to disk, so I have the same issue. If I do create separate filesets, one with compression and one without, will the incrementals really work as incrementals or will the first one be promoted to full I wonder.


My assumption was that having seperate filesets would cause it not
to see them as the same files - thus the tape backups would not be
considered as part of the ondisk backups.

Correct.

In our scenario, that's fine.  We want the ondisk backups to work
independently of the tape backups, since the tapes are archived off
site.

Good for you, then :-)

My concern about duplicating the filesets is twofold:
1) Error-prone when changes are made (i.e. machines added/removed)
2) namespace pollution (i.e. when doing a "run" from bconsole)
   and the possible human errors involved with such pollution.

Two good points.

Think about includes.

By the way: Your signature sounds as though I'm just committing a major offense. Which is simply nonsense, especially if you write to mailing lists...
