- On our site we use EXABYTE tape drive for backup purpose. But we
- can not get more than 500MB on a 112M tape which is supposed to be
- able to hold more than 2GB according to the specification. We have
- about five drives and all behave the same way. We even tried it on
- a PC with an ADAPTEC SCSI controler, but the result is the same.
- EXABYTE claimed that they don't know anything about the possible
- cause. So I am asking the net if anyone has encountered similar
- problems with EXABYTE tape drive and/or knows its possible cause.
- Thanks.
