I calculated that our DB is @61GB
The manufacturer says the tape can hold 50GB compressed

What do you think is happening?

If you do 'Query DB Format=Detailed' you will see your db page size

backup volume. Compare that with your technology specs, and take into
consideration compression which may be in effect per your Devclass.
