The particular problem (according to Veritas) is their being able to track 2tb 
worth of data in a single location.  Think disk stu's.

Whether or not that is true is open to the floor.  Many times we get 
conflicting information from support, engineering, and white papers.  I'm 
merely passing along another bit we were told.

It's not possible a " limit is 2tb *on a single tape* " because no tape (at
the moment) is able to handle such capacity
Max SAIT is 1.2 TB x band
Otherwise, we have customers with 3.2 TB files and we backup them without
problems.

That doesn't seem to be accurate based on this alert:

So, which is the truth?
