When I try to dump with compression and the file parameter I get the
following error:

1> dump database STAT to "compress::1::/export/save_DB/STAT.dbc"
file="STAT.2003-11-05"
2> go
Backup Server session id is: 21. Use this value when executing the
'sp_volchanged' system stored procedure after fulfilling any volume
change
request from the Backup Server.
Backup Server: 4.22.1.1: Option FILE is not valid for device
'compress::1::/export/save_DB/STAT.dbc::00'.
Msg 8009, Level 16, State 1:
Server 'DS_002', Line 1:
Error encountered by Backup Server. Please refer to Backup Server
messages for

There is no error when using the same command without compression
1> dump database STAT to "/export/save_DB/STAT.dbc"
file="STAT.2003-11-05"
2> go


Thx, bebe
What is wrong in the statement with compression?

The backup compression API currently just doesn't support WITH FILE
(I don't think it supports any of the WITH options, nor does it support
remote backupservers). CR 308659 is open on the issue, and engineering is
considering reimplementing compression so it is native to backupserver, rather
than as a plug-in backupserver API.
