Further, How can I know backup-tape is compressed or not.<BR /><BR />Thanks all help me.<BR /> Wed, 05 Mar 2003 07:31:50 GMT Veron Le_1 2003-03-05T07:31:50Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/backup-size/m-p/2919334#M934304 Hi,<BR /><BR />Could you tell me how to know the rest of tape backup size and the size of the backup file.

Most backup programs give information about tape usage.<BR /><BR />Space left on a tape is impossible to get exact information if compression is used, it depends on compression ratio for your data. It can only be estimated. If compression is not used it is easy:<BR /><BR />Total capacity - data written = space left.
