[SunHELP] tape drive compression

[Edward Chase]

Hello, I've got a E3500 here with an internal DDS-3 tape drive in it.

I've been doing backups using, ufsdump 0f /dev/rmt/0cn <filesystem name>

I believe that writes to tape using "normal" compression.  I do believe 
that I've heard somewhere along the line that there is an "extra" 
compression mode.  Would this be /dev/rmt/0mn (max compression)?

Right now I'm not worried about any extra time this may take, I don't wish 
to get into incremental or multi tape backups if I don't have to.

TIA.
