[Bacula-users] RunBeforeJob / tape compression off

2006-09-17 Thread Michael Brennen
It appears that the only way to turn off hardware tape compression is to have RunBeforeJob execute a script that turns off h/w tape compression with 'mt'. I did not see in either released or development documentation that there is a %? substitution for the tape device to be used for the Job a

I enabled encryption on 1.39.23 using the FD keys on Friday. During a full backup over the weekend I noticed that the 35/70 DLT tapes seemed to hold less than I have seen before, about 35G in one case and somewhat over 30G in another. I am wondering if the encrypted data might conflict with au

According to the specs presented in http://www.tape-library.com/quantum/sdlt-600.htm, your tapes can store 300 GB native and *up to* 600 GB compressed. Keep in mind that 2:1 compression is just wishful thinking; an optimistic estimate. It could be less in practice. I have an LTO-2 drive, and my tap

I am using SDLT600 tapes and that is suppose to fit 600GB compressed. It seems it is unevenly filling up. Some tapes are as low as 136Gb and some are 456GB to 594GB. I am using disk spool first then to tape. So why is this difference? Arunav. -
