This sheds a little more light onto the problem. Unfortunately it rules out my suggestion, because
backup - unlike
tar - will not expand sparse files. I am not sure how
compress handles these.
As you have hardware compression enabled i suggest not using
compress on the original files, because they can't compressed two times anyway. Let the hardware in the tape drive deal with compression and save CPU time.
I have to admit this will not solve the enigma, but it should improve matters nevertheless.
I hope this helps.
