The files are copied to tape files created by the bacula. Which are
compressed:

Filset:
....
Include {Options {Signature = MD5; compression = GZIP5}
.....

What we have are two sets of backup:
1.-copied to hard disk files Bacula
2.-these same files copy them to tape.

To confirm you have everything I said, I will copy to tape uncompressed
files. Really so certified the 417 GB is the maximum compression that allows
.

The quality of the tapes, I have no way of knowing. The model I bought is
brand Manufacturer: HP. The specific model is:
"HEWLETT-PACKARD C7973AN LTO" are packages of 20 LTO-3 tapes.
