Ameerul,

Sometimes, if your data compresses well, you will get more on the tape than you 
expect.
Conversely, sometimes, if the data doesn't compress well you will get less.

TSM just reports how much it has written.  You will be able to get it all back.

Hi All,

Why is it the tape utilization (q vol) hits more than
400GB even though the tape can actually utilize about
400GB (compressed)? Why is this happening? Will the
data in the tape still recovarable?

Thanks and regards
Ameerul Madzali
