Hello all,

This is not likely a bacula questions, but in the chance that it is, or 
the experience on this list, I figured I would ask.

We've been using LTO3 tapes with bacula for a few years now.  Recently 
I've noticed how variable our tape capacity it, ranging from 200-800 Gb. 
  Is that strictly governed by the compressibility of the actual data 
being backed up?  Or is there some chance that bacula isn't squeezing as 
much onto my tapes as I would expect?

200Gb is not very much!

thanks,
Stephen
