Greetings All,
I just started backing up a large clustered file server.  Up until this
point we had been backing up system state on AD controllers and exchange2k
servers and the exchange databases.  The most that has fit on a tape up to
this point has been about 180 Gig according to Netbackup.  We added the
cluster which holds about 650 Gig of data.  According to Netbackup, we have
as much as 264 Gig of data on a single tape.  The data on this machine
varies from home directories with the normal stuff stored to departmental
shares with anything and everything.  I do know there are a quite a few
access MDBs and plenty of large SQL flat file dumps.  I have tested restores
of random directories so it looks like I am getting good backups.

Is it feasible that I am getting better than 2:1 on some of this data?  

Thanks.
