Symantec Backup Exec & LTO2.

[BoomAM]

Hi.
Can anyone tell me why exactely our tapes hold 200/400Gb, the total space to backup daily is 197Gb, the total monthly backup is 323Gb, yet on the daily backups, its having to do the last 10-20% of the backup on ANOTHER tape?

Im trying to work out if we need to buy new tapes or not?

Plus, im asuming that BackupExec will allow me to format/rename tapes? Essentially starting from scratch with them?

Thanks in advance all. .

Right, so will i need to buy new tapes, or can i just format the old ones and rename then?
If its the latter, how do i do that? (symantec guide prehaps, cant find nout myself.)

Thanks. .
