Hi,

Can anyone here tell me the difference of software compression,hardware
compression and tape capacity?
For example, I have a sony AIT2 autoloader(can anyone give a chg-scsi
configuration file?),which have 50GB(native)/100GB(compress) mark on it.
also, the autoloader have a hardware compression switch.If in my
amanda.conf file I use compress high,then the tape can hold 100GB tar.gz
file of the amanda output?if the software compression ratio is 30%,then
can I run a backup of a file system size of 140GB if I open the hardware
compression switch?
In one word, I am totally confused with the 50GB(native)/100GB on the tape
and the compression option in amanda.conf.

Any hints?
