Getting the most out of compression.

Along with BE10, we use an HP Storageworks Dat72 on 2k3 Server. Our tapes are 36/72 but the most I ever get out of them is 45GB. How can I increase compression? I looked in device properties and everything is default i.e. block buffer size, buffer size, buffer count and high water (32/32/10/7). I need to be able to get about 60GB on a single tape. Is this possible? Thx in advance!

No way to change this. You turn compression on or off.

Different data compresses differently, adn what you get is what you get
