Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I have Symantec Backupexec V12.5 on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.<br />
I created a new job for one of my departments, I need to back up Video files into Tape.<br />
The total files sum size is 1.62TB, I am using 780GB LTO4 Tape that with compression of 2:1 should give me enought space to backup these files.<br />
<br />
I created a new backup job for this back up and enabled compression under Setting -&gt; General -&gt; Compressions type: Hardware [if availible, otherwise software] but that job is paused after 720GB and asking for a new backup tape.<br />
Is there another place I should enable compression for this backup job or becuase I am trying to backup video file compression is not going to work in this specific case ? if so, What alternative sulotion would you recomand for such backup ?<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />
Hen<br />

Backup job needs compression

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.
