I am using a QIC tape drive, and DC525 tapes, 525MB. tbpi 20000,
length 1020 feet, the file system is only ;

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0s1f    645638   227945   366042    38%    /usr

yet this takes dump 1.3 tapes to back up?  does anyone know why this is so?

ta
Bob
