HP Ultrium Tape C7973A 800 GB

Hi,

 

We are using ArcServ Backup with te HP C7973A 800 GB RW bands. It works good!  Every year we are changing the bands. Last week i did it. And now every backup job stops at 392 GB. With one of the old bands and the exact same job, i did no changes, it works. WHY? Is there anything i should turn on/off on the band?  In the front of the band i see on the left side the small protect/unprotect window. The old band has a completly open window, the new one only a half one, Is this the problem?

 

Thanks Daniel

How many GB can you fit in your old tapes/bands ?
