If it is compressed, you will need to use the same software that created it to decompress it when you stream it out...otherwise, you just have a compressed image that is useless.

HP Data Protector can be a serious pain, frankly. We do a lot of LTO stuff, but I frankly don't know how I'd get started with this.
