Backup Exec 2014 and HP storageworks 1/8 2g autoloader
Hello everyone
Sorry if i am asking this question again.
i have an lt0-5 cartridge of 3tb on my tape device.
backup exec 2014 see's the cartridge as 1.5tb on 2 partition, what i mean is...
LTO5 is 1.5TB native (1:1 compression!) and 3TB compressed (2:1)...read below:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open
Never go according to the compressed size of the tape.
1.3TB on a 1.5TB tape means you're either not backing up enough data, backing up data that is compressing to less than 1.5TB, or backing up data that is getting less compression (ie. 0.9:1 if you are perhaps backing up compressed data that is increasing in size).
Check the compression on the tape...this will tell you what you are getting.
Thanks!
- Right-click on the tape library and select inventory so that BE can recognize the 3rd tape. You need to inventory/scan the tape library each time you add/remove tape from the library. Otherwise the changes will not be reflected in the BE console. Take a look at your screenshot, the 4.1Tb is from all media which includes both online and offline tapes
