I need a solution
Hello all,
We noticed that our sunday jobs are not compressing data. Our jobs monday-friday are compressing data fine 1.6:1, but when sunday comes around we are only getting 1:1 and the tape fills up and is still sitting in the queue. Sunday jobs are the same just like the others, Full -Using archive bit (reset archive bit), same Media Set.
Tried creating a new sunday job from scratch which did not resolve the issue. The tape drive is a Dell PowerVault 124T utilizing 16 drive slots, I verified under device pools that compression was enabled for the slots were have our sunday tapes installed. Jobs are setup up with hardware compression - if available, otherwise none.
Not sure what else to try other than replace the tape drive completely?
