Nothing, it still does not copy more than 417 GB ... The truth is that I dont know what else to look, if I see no option but what does is try to mount the device copies LTO-3 in windows to see if the backup software that comes with the product I may use the hardware compression ... Honestly, I do not like having to do this, but so at least prove if it really works or not.
