Re: DDS-4

What is this "ntbackup" you are using? This is the HP-UX forum... not Windows.

No, it isn't.

DDS-4 native capacity is 20 GB. So, getting 22 GB on the tape means you are getting some compression, but not much.

See these sites for DDS tape information:

ntbackup -> its Windows Operation system backup method, there ain't much compression of data has been done while backing up your data.

solution -> either your use any "Backup software" -> HP Data proctector -> for better data compression, or your post your further queries to "Windows forum"
Problems are common to all, but attitude makes the difference
