Hello,

I need to configure the tape type off Dell PowerVault 122 T

From http://www.amanda.org/fom-serve/cache/354.html and confirmed from DELL 
site 
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/stor%2Dsys/122T/en/122t_lto/ug/specs.htm

I get

define tapetype LT01 {
    comment "DELL LT01"
    length 101376 mbytes
    filemark 0 kbytes
    speed 15080 kps
}

Is this correct? The tape size and speed I should set here is the native size 
(without the compression)?

The speed is not used by amanda, but gives you an idea how your
system performs, or if there are any problems there.

For LTO drives, the setting of hardware compression is not that
important because the algorithm used to compress does not expand
already compressed data, like most other tape drives do.
