You are lucky. My LTO-1 drive says 200GB compression 2:1, and the biggest full backup is < 179GB, but some servers have a lot CAD and pictures files, here i lost the battle :-(... I hope some day i can get more than 200GB. Cheers!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
