Netbackup reports the amount of data stored on the tape.  Most tape drives,
and apparently yours, compress the data to be written so 100k of data may
only take 50k of actual tape space.

Apparently, some of your data is highly compressible.

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
