I've been told (I'm sure on this list) that generally hardware
compression is better than software compression. I throw that out
for whatever it is worth.

being a different--DDS3--type tape, of course.)

I've got an AIT-2 tape drive, which supposedly will hold 50-100GB.
the tapetype that I found, seems to say that it's 43GB:
define tapetype AIT2 {
comment "AIT-2 with 230m tapes"
length 43778 mbytes
filemark 3120 kbytes
speed 5371 kps
}
but what happens when the data is compressible? I'm doing li
