Asiye,
The numbers reported are what are reported to NetBackup from the
library. We track the amount of data written to the tape; however,
depending on the compressibility of the data determines the amount of
data that can be placed on any individual piece of media. For example a
large text file (nMB, where n is some number) will compress very well
going to tape, but would still nMB of disk space when restored. The nMB
is reflected in the bpmedialist output. Yet another file, which is not
as compressible but smaller than nMB may actually take up more space on
tape than our previous mentioned text file. HTH.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Kbytes on Media seems to be graten than allowable
size for this kind of media
Hi Gurus,
When I look at the media list report, There is a media that its size is
850 000 000Kb. There is also a media its size is 200 000 000Kb.
There is also a media its size is 400 000 000Kb. NetBackup says for
All these medias "Full" independent on the size they have (I think like
that!
What is the criteria for NB to tell that!).
What is the meaning of that? Why some medias are full although the size
Is smaller. I mean the media is full even 200 000 000 Kb in size;
The other is still accepting the data even bigger than 200 000 000 Kb in
size.
The other thing is that the size for this kind of media is 200/400GB.
I think there is something I miss. Please clear my mind!
I would appreciate If you could suggest/tell something about that!
Regards,
Asiye
