sorry missed important bit

the drive is seen as archive python 04106 - xxxx - SCSI sequential device

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a seagate tape unit which is recognised and installed as archive python - xxxx - SCSI sequential device by windows 2000. &nbsp;Using NTbackup (interactively or by command line or by scheduler) it does not seem to accept the hardware compression flag. &nbsp;The unit should backup 12GB uncompressed or 24GB compressed. &nbsp;Now that we have passed 12GB NT backup is asking for a second tape.<br />
<br />
Any ideas<br />

Archive python 04106 drive does not appear to be using hardware compression

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
