problem when creating policy with bemcmd

[jftuga]

I am running BE 12.5 and am creating a policy + template from the command line.  The compression option is not being set. No matter what value I try for COMPRESSION_TYPE the policy's template remains at "Hardware (otherwise none).  Ideally, I would like for it to be set to "Software".

Please advise, Thanks.

Here is a workaround that I just thought of...

Tools -> Options -> Backup

Compression Type = Software

This sets the Default compression level (for any new jobs, templates, etc.) to Software.

However, I still would like to know why the command line version is not working.
