See 'man mt'.
On my Linux Debian system,
mt datcompression 1 #prints DAT compression
mt datcompression 0 #disables DAT compression
mt datcompression x #where x is anything other than 0 or 1 enables DAT
compression
Hope this helps.

I having problem with the backup. The backup tape capacity is 20/40G, I
tried to backup only around 17 G compressed. Following are the error message
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: /dev/st0: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
So I tried tar
We are using Compaq 15/30GB DLT's (DLT2000) and I have a question regarding
hardware compression. Judging from this group and the Amanda docs one
should turn hw compression off. My problem is while this can be done from
the front panel of the units the setting does not stick so I have to do
take the correct tape device, usually /dev/nrmt0l on Compaq/T64. This
device does no compression, while the others (/dev/nrmt0[hc..]) use more
or less of hardware compression.
