i've found that software compression (with our cheesy seagate backup exec s/w anyway..) compresses better than hardware because it is able to reorganize the data in a more compressible manner rather than the drive just compressing whatever hits the buffer. we average just under 18GB per tape w/

For me, I'm just tarring up hosts to tape. When the tape develops an error, and I use software compression (i.e. -zvvcf /dev/nst0), then I'll lose the whole session. If I let the tape drive compress, it won't compress as good (like you said), but at least I only lose a file or two. -kf
