SolutionThe dat72 drive and dat72 tape native capacity is 36GB. This means that on the tape when it gets full, you have 36GB of COMPRESSED data. Now how much UNCOMPRESSED data is this? It depends on your data, it looks like you data does not compress much that's why you get about 40GB.
The DAT72 states 72GB capacity assuming a 2:1 compression ratio. That means if the data compresses 2:1 you could fit 72GB of data compressed to 36GB in a dat72 tape.

Re: Backup size
As already mentioned, the amount of data that that you will fit on the tape, will depend on how compressed it already is...
If your files are already compressed, zip files for example, it's not possible to compress them further, in fact they may end taking more space on the tape than they do on disk...
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Backup size
I would suggest you to nget hold of an LTO drive.
LTO drive has much higher capacity and much better performance. Something like an LTO-2 Ultrium 448 would probably be adequate (200GB native capacity
Check the belw link for LTO drives:

Re: Backup size
You could go with the DAT 160 range, although personally I'd go with an LTO based drive rather than DAT...

How much data do you need to back up ?
