Yes hardware commpression is activated.
I checked compresion status by software.
When compresion is enabled and ntbackup is set compresion status changed to
disabled. I can write no more than 20GB (not 40GB) on one DDS4 tape.

This problem doesn't exist in ntbackup in windows 2003 server. Testing
software always shows enable compresion status.

Thanks
Pawel
