When I run a backup over LAN on what PC is the compressing done?
a] The PC that contains the files to be backed up?
b] The PC that runs the AIS program.
Where does AIS compress over LAN

Compression
The compression is always done on the PC running AISBackup. We have an experimental client server version where the compression is done on the PC been backed up - the compression is done in a service running on each client PC.

Maybe you could also consider another way of handling things.
A client on each PC that only sends data to the backup server where the data is processed.
I'm forced to have 2 copies of AIS installed because when I run my backups from my backup PC AIS can't look inside 'Program Files' because windows protects that area.
But a local AIS has no problems with that.
A little client module could overcome that problem.

AIS backup Client
The client does do that - communication is via TCP/IP so should work over a WAN as well as a LAN. A client server version of AISBackup is in the design stage with ideas for efficient backup in a multiple PC environment. Needs a lot of work, a lot of testing - and then a lot of sales to make the work worthwhile 
Restore uses the standard AISBackup.
