(SESSION: 17232) We are using 9840 tape cartridges in an SL8500 tape silo running Server Version 5, Release 3, Level 1.2 I'm a little bit leary that it also tells me that it fit the backup on 1 tape. Is there some special compression going on? Thanks! Dave Zarnoch Nationwide Provident [EMAIL PROTECTED]
