Hi Robert,
   I think the answer on the question of how much can fit on the tape using
TurboStore and Compression is that the compression factor is 4.1 : 1 if I
remember correctly.

   Also you didn't mention what length of tape you are planning to use.  This
will affect your number of tapes needed tremendously.  Note: I am figuring you
will use the largest possible tapes :)

    I use 90 m tapes for my weekly, monthly and yearly full backups.  60 m tapes
for daily partials.

We'll have a total of 8 GB.  Will a 4 GB DAT drive cover
this if we're using Turbostore and compression?
