Problems with Hardware Compression C1537A DDS3
Hi,
i??ve got a problem with hardware compression on my C1537A.
Hardware Compression oin the drive is enabled but the drive??s storing max. 11GB on my DDS3 Tape with a max write rate of 60mb/min. Why is the rate less data than the native amount of the drive ?
Any Idea ?
I use ArcServe 2000 SP3 on a Win2k Server SP2, the SCSI Controller is an Adaptec AIC7880 UW (also tried with an Adaptec Ultra160)

Re: Problems with Hardware Compression C1537A DDS3
Hello,
How did you set the switches 1 and 2 (controlling compression)?
Switch 1 should be set to 1 to enable compression. Switch 2 should be set to 1 as well for Host control.
HTH,
Vince

hi
-Conpression of data depend of the data itself, now a days, the data on a server are already optimized and have a low ratio in compression, you can check this, with an utility like winzip, that use a software algoritm to compress data, then compare your data with the result of winzip plus 5 - 10 % value (because Backup Software ad some header and catalogs on the tape).
-Another thing that can create problem is if you have enabled the software conpression, then the data will be sent to the DAT already compressed, then no more compression allowed.
-If you have an old tape or a head problem on your dat, this can worst space due to bad blocks.
-The transfer rate is right, about one Mb/sec id the commom transfer rate for a DDS3 Tape Device.

Re: Problems with Hardware Compression C1537A DDS3
Andi,
If you are writing uncompressable files they will actually take up more room on the tape than if you didn't compress the files.
A DDS-3 tape can store 24GB of data PROVIDING it can be COMPRESSED into 12GB.
this means the tape can only really store 12GB!
