DLT 8000 and tape type.
2005-01-20 04:27:31
I have just completed a tapetype on my Storedge L9 with DLT 8000 again,
and I'm a little confused.
The DLT 8000 drive can take 80GB compressed, the results return 40GB.
Amstatus shows that the amount of data stored on each tape is always
less than 40G, the latest output from the status is :
tape 1 : 66 27906885k 25125884k ( 68.13%) AG3600
tape 2 : 1 9085868k 9327611k ( 22.18%) AG3602
tape 3 : 0 0k 0k ( 0.00%) AG3598
My question is two part, a. how do I get amanda to backup 80GB to the
DLT, and secondly why is it that the second tape in a three part backup
never holds as much data as the first tape? The backup shown above is
still running and currently saving to tape 3. Or am I barking up
completly the wrong tree?
define tapetype DLT-L9 {
comment "DLT 8000 - Storedge L9"
length 40000 mbytes
filemark 22 kbytes
speed 1770 kbytes
I am using the chg-zd-mtx script to handle the autoloader, Fedora Core 2
as my OS and Amanda version 2.4.4p2-3.
Many thanks,
Neil.
