Hi All,

I have this problem where I've got a mix of 20/40GB and 40/80GB DLT tapes that are in 1 pool configured to backup using 1 tape drive. The problem is, all of them seem to be acting like 20/40GB tapes including the higher capacity ones. I've not been able to get the 40/80GB tape to store even remotely near 40GB let alone the compressed capacity of 80GB. I was wondering whether anyone had similar problems before...

The funny thing is, I've got a another pool that uses another tape drive that all backup correctly. Most backup are close to around 68-72GB, which I believe is fine. I've configured both pools & devices similarly but don't know why 1 only backs up to around 34GB (acting like a 20/40). Both tape drives were bough at the same time and are identical models. Is the mix of tapes causing the problem?

They are currently listed as /dev/nst0 and /dev/nst1 respectively. Is there any configuration files in outside of bacula-dir that I need to configure or perhaps in Linux system files perhaps, although I don't recall any configuration files other than the bacula conf files where done back during the initial setup.

Thanks!

Kind Regards,
Anwar
