Do you have software/gzip compression on in the fileset? Or is the
data only compressed files (jpeg, mpeg, zip, gzip ...)? If either of
these are true then that is probably all you will fit on the tape. You
can not compress the data 2 times so expect to get only the native
size written to the tape.
