Compression - A short explanation
Every now and then, there would be an aggrieved user who feels that he was not given the full measure by his tape. For example, for LTO3 tapes, the label on the box specifies 400GB and he is not getting anything close to this.

I back up my data to a SAS-attached HP tape library with a LTO4 tape drive and I write to both LTO3 and LTO4 tapes.5.8KViews9likes14CommentsWhy are my backups so slow?
One of the most frustrating and common problems with backups is troubleshooting poor performance.
