How much data can I write to the tape? The amount of data written that can be written to a tape is impacted by the compression ratio of the data and the error rate performance of the tape/drive combination. It may not be the same as the capacity marked on the cartridge which assumes 2:1 compression ratio and reasonably good error rate. Use the Device Performance test to measure a specific tape/drive combination. Note - This test will take a long time and overwrite any data on the tape. 1. Install and run L&TT 2. Insert the tape in the appropriate drive. 3. Select the device and click Dev Perf on the toolbar. 4. Set parameters as shown - or choose a different compression ratio - and start. Note the Test Size is set to Full Tape 5. See Drive Performance Results tab for results
