Hi and thanks for reading.

We have a Compaq TL891 w/ expansion unit (total 26 slots) w/ two DLT
drives (Digital tz89 / DLT7000). The sw is Networker 6.1.3 under Windows
NT.

It's in service since one year and in these last month we experienced some
problems with timeouts (solved thanks the reading of some older posts in
the list...). This led me to carefully examine the daemon.log and it
raised some questions.

1st question to the list about media type
- the media type used for both devices is "dlt7000". I can see that among
the media types there is "tz89". Does it make some difference in using one
or another? I tried to re-create my jukebox with jbconfig, but if I
use "Autodetected SCSI jukebox" I cannot choose the media type and it
takes automatically dlt7000.

2nd question to the list about capacity:
- in one year running the maximum capacity reached for one tape is around
37-38 Gb. Compression is active both on hardware and software side. The
main part of our backups is text documents. Can we expect to have more
capacity from one tape by modifying some configs?

Thanks for all possible help,

Vito Maltese
