Hi togehter,

i have a question. 

We are using a DAT-Streamer → /proc/scsi/scsi

Vendor: SEAGATE  Model: DAT    DAT72-000 Rev: A030

We can use tapes with max. 36 GB but we want to backup about to 40 – 50 GB.

I heard something about a special compression to put this amount of data on 
smaller tape. 

Is this possible with Amanda?

Amanda.conf:

define tapetype DAT {
    comment "DAT tape drives"
    length 35000 mbytes         # these numbers are not accurate
    filemark 100 kbytes         # but you get the idea
    speed 100 kbytes

OS- Version RH 9.0
Amanda: 2.4.3 

Thanks!

Regards,
Sebastian
