Using Backup Exec 2010 R3 with SP4 installed. Current full backup job is around 380gb
Tandberg LTO2 tape drive using LTO2 tapes 200/400gb
The tape capacity in BE is showing 200gb and is using near enough all of this when the backup runs but is there anyway in which I could utilise more of the tape space? I know the 400gb figure quoted is compressed but just wondered if I had any other options?
I have looked in to upgrading the firmware on the drive itself but the tool to do this does not seem to be detecting it... My plan was to check if hardware compression was on/off on the device.
Any ideas anyone?
