I've been meaning to ask about this for a long time:
Does anyone here use AIT2 tapes, a.k.a. SDX-50C, for Amanda backup? What
tape length are you using?
Please note that I'm not asking for the tapetype entry from the
amanda.org archives, as it does not seem quite correct. I mean, the tape
size is specified as 50Gb, and that's more or less what the "length"
parameter in entry says, but it seems to me that it isn't actually
possible to write that much data to these tapes. The maximum seems to be
closer to 40Gb, actually.
OK, I might run amtapetype, but I'm lazy... And I'm also curious about
other people's experience with this tapes. For instance, can anyone
actually write as much as 50Gb?
