> And if the tapel fill 2.4TB? > That is totally fine. Remember compression is variable.On a text only data set you can get greater than 5 to 1 compression. On a dataset with already compressed data you will likely get no compression at all so the tape will be full at ~400 GB. The 800 number quoted by the maufacturer is only the manufacturer expected value. Its not any kind of limit. Also in most real world data sets you will not actually achieve that.
