I too have been a faithful user of QB but agree with the QB author
about not using compression.  Why - backup speed primarily.  My time
is worth more than the costs of a few disks.  Now if compression were
made optional with no loss of backup speed perhaps that would be ok
but all the compression algorithms are computationally intensive and I
suspect that backup/recovery time would more than double.  Think about
it, is your time worth more than $5 per hour - mine sure is
particuarly when the time is spent stuffing disks into my computer.
Got to be the most boring thing around!
