Exactly? They are 200/400 tapes. Logically, I should get at minimum 200 gig? I have to drag my arse over and see what the loader is set to. I suspect if its set to compress, it will make the data larger as its not at all compressible.
I assume BE cant disable HW compression on the fly if the autoloader has it enabled. jlc -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 8:51 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Backupexec and compression On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 9:52 AM, Joseph L.

I'm confused. Are you saying that you're only managing to fit 140 GB on a 200 GB tape? -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
