The drive does some compression - but there are lots and lots of files and |
| 15 |
filtetypes that simply can not packed anymore. Pictures, movies, music files, |
| 16 |
everything already compressed. This stuff may even take up more space after |
| 17 |
packing. |

So 46gb on a 36/72gb tape is not bad for mixed data. You can only get better |
| 20 |
results, if everything you backup are text files. |
