we have a SONY SDT-5000 tape drive and use DDS-2 (120m) tapes. on level 0 dumps we can backup approxiamtely 7-8GB/tape. is the 2GB limit you are seeing, one large partition or several small backups to the same tape? each backup to tape goes in a seperate tape "file" and the tape uses a big gap between each tape file that will lower the maximum that can be stored on the tape. is data continuing to arrive for the tape so that the tape is capable to keep streaming? --mark.
