Firestreamer-RM allows NTBackup to write directly to REV with compression, encryption, media spanning etc.

Although it is not pretty, you could use a third party tool to to compress a file created with ntbackup and then copy it to the REV drive (possibly using a VBS script). The downside to this method is it would require up to 90GB of free harddrive space.

Unfortunately though without using a REV aware backup software solution you can't get any compression. Unless someone knows a trick.

There is a simple solution to the ntbackup problem without editing the registry: Share the drive and write your backup to the share.
