neither show you how full each tape is (guessing they were different
tapes). with software compression, you got 2.5:1, so 99 gb is written
on the tape, which may have made the tape 1/2 full. with the hardware
compression, 250 was written to tape, and the tape may still be only 1/2
full or less.
if you select a directory to restore, netbackup will have to read the
