Careful.  You're mixing apples and oranges.  No doubt, the Legato number
reflects pre-compressed data, and ADSM post-compressed.  Even so, I
wouldn't expect numbers as high as 200GB.  That would indicate almost
6-to-1 compression.

We are seeing on average about 32.5-33.5GB per tape (CompactTapeIV on
DLT7000).  We use client compression but not tape drive compression.
