I need a solution
I am replacing a Windows 2003 server with BE 2010 with a new server running Windows 2012r2 and BE2014SP2. On the old server I can back up 2TB of data on to an LTO5 tape because of compression. On the new server I have copied the exact same data from the old server and move the old tape drive over and now I can only store 1TB before it prompts me for a new tape. I have hardware compression enabled on the tape drive. Here is what the first tape stats look like:
Media Capacity: 1.39TB
Used Capacity: 1.39TB
Backup Data Written: 0.989 TB
Available Capacity: 1.85 GB
Compression Ratio: 1:1
What could be causing this? The Drive is an HP LTO5 SAS drive on a Dell R720 server.
