Please put subjects on your questions so we can follow the discussion. OK, Native storage versus compressed numbers are a marketing game. The Magstar K-Tape is a 40GB native (120GB compressed), yet I see data stored as low as 75GB and as high as 240GB. It just depends on how compressable the data is. If the data is already compressed, the size when it is stored to tape can actually increase. DLT is a much poorer compression performer than Magstar so getting these numbers does not surprise me. Are you using client compression?
There is a another possibility. You may have compression turned off, though I doubt it. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Sheehan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 11:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hey TSM'rs I was wondering why I think I should be able to utilize the 80 GIG capabilities of my tapes but it appears I am not. I average around 43 gig on most. I have a Compaq TL891 10 tape library. Anyone else have this config ??? TIA Patrick
