The DAT 72 C8010A is a DDS-5 tape.<br />
The Dell PV is a DDS-4 drive...<br />
I would check the other drive and see if it is DDS-4 or less<br />

Best solution is to buy the right tapes for now. I would monitor the growth rate of the backups and begin searching for a larger tape drive say LTO 2 or 3 if you want to go big...

My backups are getting larger and I need to find tapes that will accomodate this growth. I purched some HP DAT 72 C8010A tapes but they keep popping out of my drives.<br />
<br />
I have 2 tape drives that this is happening on one is a &nbsp;Dell PV-100T-DDS4 Archive Python, the other is a HP C1537A .<br />
<br />
Did I get the wrong tapes or do I need a new drive to accomodate my growth?

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.

Storage

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
