Hi all,
I have been having a lot of trouble trying to find out the free disk space on my dat cartridges. Here's the system that I am currently using:
Win NT4
Backup Exec v8.5
HP SureStore 24 x 6 autoloader.
Daily overwrite backup using hardware compression.
5 separate media sets for each working day of the week.
Currently backing up 30.5GB

When I run the Media report it tells me that the Current MB for a tape is 3.234 GB. Is this 3.234 GB of compressed or uncompressed data?

Also, what can I do if backups are continued onto another tape??

Thanks,
Donal
