Does anyone here use AIT2 tapes, a.k.a. SDX-50C, for Amanda backup? What tape length are you using?

This is the tapetype entry we use in our amanda.conf:

# christian found this definition on the internet
# @ http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/backups_amanda.html
define tapetype SDX2-50C {
   comment "AIT2"
   length 50000 mbytes
   filemark 3120 kbytes
   speed 5371 kps
}

define dumptype comp-root {
   comment "Root partitions with compression"
   options compress-fast, index
   priority low
}

So that we use software compression.


Cheers, Christian
