Darren, Thank you for your answer.
Can you suggest how I can get more per tape capacity? Should I relabel tape using different device (at the moment /dev/rmt/0cbn on Solaris 8) ? DLTIV tape with DLT7000 tape drive should give me 55-70G Thank you, Aleksandr On 11/6/07, A Darren Dunham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Nov 06, 2007 at 10:19:29AM -0500, Aleksandr Nepomnyashchiy wrote: > > Dear NetBackup Gurus, > > > > I have inherited installation of NetBackup 3.4 with Sun L1000 library > > and DLT7000 drives. > > > > My tape drive type is set to DLT.
