Hi,
data compression depends on what you're backing up. Text files for instance compres quite well, where video files don't compress at all.
So you need to check what sort of data you're backing up first.
Secondly, stop the BE services, and after downloading HP Library and Tape Tools (HP LTT) from the HP site, run a compression test to see what sort of compression you can get from the drive. If nothing, then you might have an issue with the tape drive itself.
Another test to run is to backup a bunch of text files, or create a very large text file. Run a backup of this and see what compression rates you are getting.
Lastly make sure you have the Symantect drivers installed for the tape drive. You can use tapeinst.exe to do so.
Thanks!

Is compression enabled in the properties (configuration tab) of the tape drive ?. In addition to the above suggestions, do consider cleaning the tape drive as well.
