Hi all,
Bit of a headscratcher!
We're running an internal LTO2 drive in BackupExec 2012.. under normal operation with existing tapes we're filling the tape to 180gb~ with a 1.6:1 compression ratio.
A few tapes started producing RW issues continually so I ordered some new tapes to replace them..
Problem is.. on the new tapes I'm getting no compression? so they're topping out before capacity - one made it to 104gb and one made it to 160gb before asking for a new tape. Each time I check the media properties on the failed jobs the compression is 1.0:1.
Just wanted to check that I'm not missing something with adding in new tapes to the system? It feels like the new tapes might just be rubbish, however, feeling a bit inexperienced I could do with some pointers!
Had a google and found a locked symantec thread with no resolve.
Thanks in advance.
