Compression with SDLT600 Tapes (Quantum) / Veritas 10

[Mike_Lee_2]

Hello everyone,

I am having issues trying to get my tapes to accept 600gb for tape size. I have it setup per the instructions on the support site, but I can only push 300gb on them.

Anyone use these tapes that could give me some pointers? And yes, I have loaded the recent drivers for the tapes, twice.

Thanks for any information you can provide me!

Hello,

Please refer to the technote given below.

(title)Backups fail to get double the amount of the native capacity recorded to a media, even when hardware compression is being utilized.

I called support and I re-loaded the quantum drivers and it worked great.

Thanks,
