It is 36 GB. Maybe minus a bit for marketing lies<<<<exaggeration.
But you are compressing the data with bzip2 then
telling the hardware to try to compress it further.
The hardware compressor actually expands already
compressed data by 5-15%. Thus your tape can only
hold about 31 GB of this type of processed data.
And guess what?

Amanda runs out of tape at about 31 GB.
