Greetings,

We do a full backup nightly.  We backup to a DDS-3 tape drive, with DDS-3 tapes.

Occasionally the backup requests a second tape and I'm not sure if we're
really reaching the limit of a DDS-3, or some of my tapes are bad.

A DISCFREE command shows 252MB sectors used that I believe converts to approximately 64GB of data.

The STORE command uses the COMPRESS parameter.

Am I reaching the capacity of my DDS-3 tapes?

Thanks,

Ernie Newton
