Just analysing our TSM install today as tapes have been getting chewed up quicker then normal, despite no confuration changes being made at server or client side. We have client-side compression turned on (hardware off) and we were getting about 140-180Gb of data on each tape before they being marked as full. Looking today though it has practically halved in capacity (or more in some cases) dropping anywhere from 45-90Gb of data before being labeled full.
Any ideas what might cause this? The nature of our data hasn't changed at all, could dirty drives cause such a drastic reduction in capacity? TIA!
