If your data is fairly static you may find the built in deduplication of NBU to 
be a benefit. Contact your Symantec system engineer for more information. The 
time spent on this could save you money and administrative burdens. 

Thanks,

I have one, and it seems to be at capacity.
This week is the first time tapes have HAD to be ejected to make way for
new tapes to be loaded!

Not a good situation to be in. Its 6 drives, with 143 slots!

I have tried to check we are MPX enough and putting as much Data to a
single tape as possible, but we are limited in costs. 
If you read the Tech Specs at Management level, they talk about 143 x
LTO4 = 114 TB's uncompressed I would guess.

Well I ran a NBU report for client Backup over a period of one week and
it shows over 44,348GB's for just that week.

Erm,

More problems on SL500s than the L700 robots.
I'd be curious to hear the experiences from others.

Justin.
