My first "successful" backup withe the DLT7000 loader seems to have run out of tape at about 20GB. I'm *almost* certain that all of the tapes I was using with the DLT4000 were new, and therefore should be capable of holding the 35GB. There isn't any definitive markings on any of the tapes. They all say "DLT IV" but nothing more. Is there any way, short of running tapetype on every tape, to know for certain its' capacity?
