It seems to me that I can compress data before backing up by using -Z in 
the bru command.  I have not figured out how to restore compressed files.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do.

 Simply bru -x. It is able to tell by itself that the backup is compressed, it
can also tell that the file is byte-swapped (if you 'bru -cf /dev/tape' but
'bru -xf /dev/tapens').
