We've got a Sun Enterprise 4500 here with a Sun DLT7000 tape drive attached 
to it.  The capacity of the drive is 35GB (compressed 70GB).  My backup at 
the moment is at the 35GB mark and is not making it onto the tape.  How do 
I make a compressed backup?  I am using ufsdump and see no compression 
option.  The mt command also doesn't show any compression options.

Any help would be most appreciated.
