Hi All,

I have a question regarding the backing up of our Windows 2000 Exchange =
Server.  It uses Backup Exec 8.60 to backup the Information Store and =
Mailboxes to a fairly new DAT 20/40 drive using DDS4 150 metre tapes.  =
The compression is set within Backup Exec to use Hardware.

The problem I have is it will only ever backup 20Gb onto the tape before =
saying the tape is full and prompting for another one.  I need to backup =
about 30Gb of data.  Can anyone tell me why I can't get more than 20Gb =
on to a tape, because from my understanding I could be able to get =
closer to 40Gb with compression.

Any ideas?

Thanks
