What kind of data is it?
How many tape does the data fit on when using the 300gb tapes?
(trying to get some idea of what to expect for compression)
I thought a 3592JA tape was 500gb when used in a 3592-e05.

We have just purchased a bunch of 3592JB tapes (700GB uncompressed
capacity) to use for some large NDMP backups. My first test last night
backing up around 1.8TB of data completely filled two of these tapes. This
is only marginally better than what I was getting on the 3592JA tapes which
are rated at 300GB uncompressed. We have 8 TS1120 (3592-E05) drives in a
3494 library and are running TSM 6.1.3.4. The device class specifies
FORMAT=DRIVE which should cause recording at the highest available density.
I would think almost all of this data would fit on one of these volumes.
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Thanks
