[Veritas-bu] RE: [NBUADV-L]: compression and DLT 7000

I've seen the same thing at another customer's site...the Veritas SE that
was onsite before me said that it may be due to some HIGHLY compressable
data...I'm not sure I know what that means since I haven't had an
opportunity to research it further.

Subject: [NBUADV-L]: compression and DLT 7000


Hello,
We are using Netbackup 3.2 on Solaris 7 with Quantam DLT 7000 Drives. We
have the following line in our st.conf file
DLT7k-data =    1,0x36,0,0x9639,4,0x84,0x83,0x0,0x85,3;
Which I believe denotes that we have 70GB of storage in  compressed mode. I
also believe that this is the theoretical limiton DLT 7000's using
compression. The confusing part is that when I run the media list report I
see tapes that are 87GB, 129GB and 111GB. Can someone tell me how this is
even possible? Veritas was not able to give me an answer to this? Thanks in
advance I will summarize.
Clifford
