Hello.
We have a system running Backup Exec 11d and we use a lto tape station for the backup. Yesterday I changed the tape set for my backup solution, because I started to get messages about my tapes not beeing data grade. I originally had a set of Tandberg tapes (LTO2 200/400GB) which had no problems backing up 230 gb of data to one tape. I loaded my new Sony LTO2 (200/400GB) tapes into the LTO-reader and ran inventory and labeling for all my new tapes. I then moved all my tapes to the existing Backup Media Set, and retired my old tapes.
When I got to work this morning, I noticed that Backup Exec requested an adittional tape to complete the backup. When I check the used space on my old tapes they use about 160gb for storing my 230gb backup, so it's obvious that they are compressing my backup. Why can't my new tapes do the same? I thought that they would inherit every option from the existing backup set when i moved them to the backup media set
