got several "archive" servers running Windows 2000. Most of them have
disks with (for example) 800GB on an NTFS partition compressed down to 200GB of
actual physical disk space. If I used flashbackup to backup these / bit
level would I be able to save 600GB of tape? Will I still be able to do
single file level restore? Just a thought I
had. If Windows can do 4:1 compression, how do you know your tape drives can't? How much tape do they really use? I'd be surprised if you needed 800GB of tape to back that data up...
