Hi,
How does NetBackup identify the different SDLT Compressions, including:
SDLT
SDLT1
SDLT2?

Thanks.

NetBackup does not mind media types if you don't specify for each volumes.NetBacku just mount tape to dirve, and write data until dirive returns end-of-media.

So if you have to identify tape spec generation, set different media type for each generation(dlt for SDLT1, dlt2 for SDLT2).

Hi Ambica,

I am not quite sure what are you trying to do. Normally Quantom tape drives comes as following:

Drive Default Type (Veritas)
===== ===========
DLT4000 DLT2
DLT7000 DLT
DLT8000 DLT2
SDLT 220 DLT3
SDLT320 DLT2
DLTVS80 DLT
DLTVS160 DLT

I have seen some technote on Veritas site regarding all the tape drive specification from different vendor and compatibility matrix. I could not remember the link.
