Just looking at the drivers on our file server, the tape drive is installed as a DLT4000 is this the same as a DLT40?

The Tape Drive is HP SureStore DLT40

Not sure of the tape drive, will have a look shortly.... Daily Backup = total 29GB - Requests that we change tapes when it reaches 27/28GB Full Backup = total 44GB - Requests that we change tapes when it reaches 29GB We should be able to get the daily back up onto one tape if it ran the same...

the jobs are set to overwrite...do you think its worth changing to append?

actually the question is....at the top of the page, why is it only writing 27GB to a 40GB tape....lol

Zelandakh - My thought exactly, oh well regardless...last night I attempted Hardware compression the back-up still required 2 tapes, I think it got to about 27GB then asked for another tape. As I said these tapes are 40/80GB tapes so see no reason why it only backs up 27GB worth.

we currently have it set to software compression, if we change it to hardware, will this slow down the backup?

its a 40/80gb tape, so we dont need compression turned on

This is an odd one and hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. We have daily back-ups which we only backup changed data and some mail databases, this usually equates to about 28GB when we get to 27GB backed up it stops and asks for another tape....we are using 40GB uncompressed...
