Hey,
So I've noticed that sometimes Amanda will fill up a tape with more than 400gb
(LTO3) - I'm assuming this is down to compression? Is there another way to
limit this from happening apart from turning hardware and software compression
off?
Thanks,
Rory,
When I am using tape compression I often...sorry.
When using SW tape compression amanda will know what the
typical compression is for any given DLE and will (I believe)
use the expected compressed size of the data when estimating
overall tape usage.
When I use HW compression I often lie
I want to ensure tapes are filled 100% each time where possible. I've written a
script in python to look at directory, figure out size, and create a disklist
which will ensure a round about size for each disklist file - so for instance
it will try to create a disklist file that contains entries

Which is more valuable, a few terabytes of tape space, or your time?
