I am using Backup Exec 11d on Widows Server 2003 Standard edition SP2.
I have an HP LTO Ultrium-3 Tape drive. I am using 800GB tapes (400GB Native).
I select use hardware compression in Backup Exec and software if not available.
However, the backup gets to between 350GB - 450GB and stop working, stating to insert a new tape. But it shouldnt need a new tape as it is a 800GB tape. Note, sometimes the backup completes successfully. (backups upto 460GB have completed successfully on occasions)
In HP tape tools device test states : Device hardware compression algorithm is switched off, this may be due to backup software.
Any help on how to complete these backups?
