Hi,

I think you have some possibilites, depending on your OS

1. GNU tar has options for compressing: -z for gzip and -C (I not remember - see man) for compress.

2. You can use pipes with compress command , gzip supports it.

3. Activate compressing on DDS3 - usually it uses tape (SCO) or mt commands for that.

and so on.

Sincerely,
nailk
