Greetings List!
I've recently adopted bacula as a network backup solution for a small
number of servers. After working with it for a few hours, I stand
impressed. The flexibility and configuration options are awesome.
One thing I need help with is ejecting the tape, before it is full.

Jeff,
I'm running the latest bacula on a windows system, with a Dell (ibm)
LTO3 drive. No problems at all so far, nock on wood. This is a

I have that same DELL drive, and I'm seeing about 60gb/hour, which I
feel is reasonable for LTO3 with no compression... your numbers aren't
