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? Dengfeng
