I´m Running Bacula on a Debian with 2.4.27-2-386 Kernel, bacula reports 556.44 GB recorded on the tape and it is not Full. Is it right? should I configure someting with mt parameters the tape drive?
It depends on how compressible the data is. If the data is highly compressible, then that's not uncommon. I've seen an LTO2 hold nearly a TB when backing up databases on an AS/400. Databases are *usually* very compressible. However, if you were backing up a bunch of bzipped tarballs, you'd see about 200-300GB
