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 tapes.

However, when we do our full weekly back up which is usually about 41GB it doesnt ask to change tape until it reaches approx 29GB as you can imagine this is annoying as the daily ones would otherwise fit onto one tape.....any ideas?

sorry for the lack of setup information, i'm just taking a stab in the dark to see if someone knows what it is.
 
Just looking at the drivers on our file server, the tape drive is installed as a DLT4000 is this the same as a DLT40?
