Running amtapetype takes some time (expect 5-8 hours). The program will fill a scratch tape twice with random data. When running "amtapetype" yourself be sure to add a realistic estimate option: "amtapetype -e 200g ...", otherwise, the program could take days to complete.

Running amtapetype on your installation instead of just using the values found here, allows you to verify the capacity (is hardware compression "on" by mistake?) and speed (is there a problem with my SCSI chain?).

Not all tapes have exactly the same length, therefor some length values have been rounded down, as noted in the entries. This allows Amanda to do better planning, because you waste a lot of capacity when the last few bytes of a multi-gigabyte dump do not fit on the tape.

Sony AIT-1 with 35/70 Gbyte tapes

LTO Ultrium 1 with 100/200 Gbyte tapes

  • Attached to Adaptec 39160

Note: using hardware compression together with software compression does not lower the tape capacity, as many other tape drives do.

HP448 (LTO Ultrium2) with 200/400 Gbyte tapes

  • Attached to Adaptec 29160 (160 MB/s)

Note: using hardware compression together with software compression does not lower the tape capacity, as many other tape drives do.

 define tapetype LTO2-200 {
