Re: Compression/Compaction on Save to Virtual Tape

I'm not so concerned on what happens when it goes to tape as I am about the
amount of disk I need in the partition to support the initial save. I will
see how well *YES performs shortly. In the past I have used CLs that
Create/used savefiles to do the first save and found *MEDIUM was a good
combo of resources needed and the resulting amount of disk needed.

On our ProtecTier devices the dedup ratio is what we consider compression

I'm sure Jim O. or the Doctor or Pete M. can correct that if necessary.

I know when saving to a LTO drive it does the compression. Is there anyway
to get some kind of compression when using Virtual Tape?

Thanks To All
