This is not a puzzle for me, Actually I want to know how much data it can
compress, Is there any one using same tape library. Which helps to estimate
the total storage capacity.

Just to know how much percentage of compression in 3583L23 library using
3580ULTGen2 drive.

Thanks,
c.r.chandrasekhar

Hi,

I see you are a Tivoli certified consultant (TSM) - maybe they missed that
part in
the certification exam - why don't you read up on compression - if this
puzzles you
I'm sure plenty other things will confuse the hell out of you.
