Dear All,

 

I hope someone can shed some light on this.

 

I have a Seagate DDS-4 drive (Osprey I think). I have TDK catridges that claim to be 20/40GB (I guess the upper figure is with hardware data compression). However, in use with Bacula and also when used with “fill” on btape, I get a maximum of about 1,200,000,000 bytes written on each tape before it reckons the tape is full. I was expecting to get about 20 times as much data on a tape.

 

Has anyone any ideas?

 

Many thanks
