Byte count on tape larger than drive

[pagy]

When backing an NTFS volume (2003 server) that has a total capacity of 780 GB and about 700 gig of that is used the byte count that backup exec gives me on tape is 820 gig.

Now seeing as I have to reformat this volume due to some corrupt NTFS indexes and then restore from tape will I run out of space on the volume before the restore has finished??

Backup exec 10d rev 5484.

Thanks

Never mind, it's my maths that's causing me the problem. A byte count of 819542170415 is of course 763 gig and not 820.



aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
