Hardware compression, what backup quantities are reported?

[Ovi_I]

Hello,

Have this issue, and cant find any answer. 

Have a 45 slot library with two drives, and few months back turned on hardware compression (otherwise none), in Backup exec 2014.

It does great, like 4:1 and even higher.

However my issue is that we have a script reports the backup quantities each day and did notice a drop in backup quantities reported previous to turning on compression.

Does backup exec report data backed up as compressed or uncompressed?

Thank you.

Can anyone answer this please? Is important, thanx.

...there was an issue with a cutover to the new platform, VOX, which is why you got no responses.

Backup Exec reports on the amount of data backed up, not compressed.

Thanks!
