Hi Everyone,
My Specifications
HP Single Tape Drive: 125m DDS-3
Model: HP C1537A
Capacity Support: 12GB Uncompressed / 24GB Compressed
All current drivers and firmware applied.
Using Veritas BExec drivers
Windows server 2003
Backup Exec 10.0
I have enabled compression both in the options menu and the GUI drop down menu of the devices tab.
When i select the Media i see the compression ratio as 0.000:1.
When i do a test run backup i get the following error:
Media Capacity Check
Device : HP 1
Online append capacity : 11,263
MBOnline overwrite capacity: 11,273
MBTotal append capacity : 11,263
MBTotal overwrite capacity : 11,273
MBCapacity check status : Failed
Final error: 0xe0008703 - Job failed running its test run. See logfile for details.
When run a backup no compression takes place and tape ejects after 12GB has been written.
Can anyone help with a solution.
