This is not a puzzle for me, Actually I want to know how much data it can compress, Is there any one using same tape library. Which helps to estimate the total storage capacity. Just to know how much percentage of compression in 3583L23 library using 3580ULTGen2 drive. Thanks, c.r.chandrasekhar

Thanks for your information/ideas guys. The reason behind this requirement is a bit messy. My company has a 3584 library on site with a 3583 at our DR site. Obviously we couldn't fit all the DR media into the 3583 at one time so the plan is to put data from key nodes into a separate tape pool so

It depends on the actual type of data - take a 2Tb oracle db that is mostly empty you will be getting a 90%+ compression ratio - so your LTO-2 cartridge will show the capacity used as 2000Gb. The typical ratio IBM used to qoute was 3-1 in recent years they changed this to 2-1, hence the 200-400

The whole compression issue has always confused the hell out of me (no certification here :-). Does 200-400 mean 200-native-,-400-if-we-hardware-compress-as-we-stream-to-tape? Sometimes the client may also compress? I think salespeople over the years have greatly abused this x-2x tape cartridge

That depends -- on the data and on the client. I've got LTO-1 (100/200) GB tapes and drives. MS-Exchange Infostore backups are compressed on disk and not decompressed by the client for backup - and I get full tapes at 101 GB. On the other hand, my SAP/R3 (Oracle) database is not compressed on the

You may have confused us by using 'schedules' and not 'nodes' in the original question. My approach, for what it's worth, would be to set up a new management class for the critical nodes and point them to a different disk and tape storage pool. I currently have management classes for SAP/R3
