RE: [Veritas-bu] compression to disk staging unit

[WEAVER, Simon]

Title: Message

Bob My guess would be yes - as I do not see what benefit you get if you are trying to software compress if the hardware compression is also in place. And I think the compression in NBU will only compress what it feels it can.

Will this result in slower migration or negative compression during the migration phase to a tape drive that uses hardware compression? This email is for the intended addressee only.
