Ntbackup compressed data on tape

[Tomppa]

Hi!

If I use ntbackup to create a .bkf file, the file size becomes same as the
orginal data (c:\data (10Gb) ->> mydata.bkf (10Gb)). If I use ntbackup to
backup mydata.bkf to tape with hardware compression on, will the size on
tape be 10Gb or 5Gb or something between?
