Sure, but a tape has a fixed number of blocks; I think
it would be possible to know how many of them are used
and how many are left?
The compression rate isn't the most important factor -
say you have a 200 GB tape divided in 200 blocks, each
1 GB in size (insane, yeah). If Bacula wrote up to the
100th block in the last backup, it doesn't really
matter if I have 100 GB of uncompressed data or 500 GB
of compressed data; what REALLY matters is that I can
write AT LEAST more 100 GB to the tape, because I have
100 blocks left.
