So... if Bacula shows _uncompressed_ 603,938,958,336 bytes (562 GB, aprox.) and the tape is marked as full ... it should be correct to assume, regarding the information provided by `tapeinfo`, that the drive is compressing data. So the tape should have enough free space. I am looking for a way to find out if data is being compressed, in order to take advantage of the tape's full capacity. OTOH, considering I am trying to check if hardware compression is actually being performed, perhaps it's beyond of the scope of this list. > best regards > -- > Radosław Korzeniewski Best regards, -- Gabriel _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
