I did not answer when you originally posted because I am confused at

Yes a 200GB LTO2 tape does not necessarily fit the 400GB that the
manufacturers specify. Sometimes you get 210GB, sometimes you get 1TB.
It all depends on your data. I usually get about 300GB on a LTO2 tape
unless I am backing up lots of text files.
