Well we use LTO3 400/800GB compressed - I see around 5-600 however alot depends on:
 
Data crammed onto tape
Types of Data (if it can be compressed anymore)
 
I dont expect to get 800GB compression, but storing 400GB on a single tape is good enough for me, especially considering what LTO1 started off with.
 
Also, depending on how your environment is configured also depends on the tape usage (ie: multiple volumes means more tapes will be used for the backup jobs, policies, frequency of backups, retenion periods perhaps).
 
How much data are you expecting to hold on a single Tape Dan?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Determine efficiency of tape usage.

How do you determine the efficiency of your tape usage?  i.e. I was just asked recently about our use of LTO3 tapes since they can hold up to 800 GB compressed, how much we were actually consuming.  i.e. if we are getting our money's worth for the larger capacity more expensive tapes.

Thanks
Dan
