11.2.2.4 Compress the Backed Up Data

data takes up less space, and allows the backup media to hold more data. Selecting Yes for the Compress
option will allow more data to be stored in a smaller amount of space. Under some conditions (when using
a DAT tape or sending the data to a disk file) use of Compress may cause the backup to run more slowly.
11.2.2.5 Add a Comment about the Backup
A Comment text entry box can be used to enter a description or comment which will appear as part of the
entry for the backup in the List Tape window.
11.2.2.6 Backup Status
