LTO tape issue with Backup Exec 11d

[Shane_Marshall]

Just upgraded from 10d to 11d and applied all the latest updates. Ever since we upgraded our 200 gb LTO tapes are showing full at onluy 160-180 gb and we are using "harware compression and software compression" so we should get more then 200gb.

I have one backup job that uses 3 tapes and ever since I upgraded it had been taking 4 tapes. Remember that each 200 gb tape I use show they are at capacity even though there is only 180 gb on it.

Any idears?

I would like to add some more info to my previous message. We are using Dell Ultrium 2 LTO tapes (200/400 gb) and a Dell Powervault 132T tape backup device.

try to remove software or hardware compression and check the results.
i know combination of both can help, but using just one can get u better space.
