Last night's backup log shows the following:
<snip>
FD Bytes Written: 13,863,894,991 (13.86 GB)
SD Bytes Written: 13,873,327,907 (13.87 GB)
Rate: 3105.7 KB/s
Software Compression: 54.8 % <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<----------
Volume name(s): Backup_aries-fd_2006-07-18_00.05.03
Volume Session Id: 1
<snip>
Looks like combining all options into one option section works. Thanks for
