I just installed a DDS-2 tape drive (Archive/Seagate Peregrine with HW compression) and want to do some backups. From what I can tell, a 120m tape should hold 4 Gb of uncompressed data and 8 Gb compressed. I'm puzzled why dump(8) wants 2 tapes to backup 77+ Mb of data (the / partition below) and 44% of a tape for /var (16 Mb). DUMP: estimated 77567 tape blocks on 1.99 tape(s).
