From what I understand, if the hardware (tape drive) is compressing the data, ArcServe will not.

Hello, any ideas on this one?

On our Windows 2000 File Server (SP3) running Arcserve 2000 (SP4) with AIT 35/70 tape drive, it will only backup 35Gb onto one tape before prompting for another one (ie. it is not compressing the data).

I am 100% sure that we are using the correct tapes as it use to compress, this is something that has started to happen. It worked fine before, I was getting around 50Gb onto a tape. There has been no changes to the setup of the server, hardware or software when it stopped working correctly.

I have checked every setting I can find but can't get any more that 35Gb onto a tape.

If I turn on software compression (within Arcserve) I get the warning when backing up that it has been disabled as hardware compression is being used.

Any Ideas, because our file server is not being backed probably at the moment....

thanks,

Steve
