Re: Which tape to use?

We need 1 more piece of information, What is the model of the tape drive? 
The drive that can use the 16/32 can read and write the 26gb (13/26) but 
not the other way around.

The general answer with the info you have here would be 'bigger is better'

Which tape to use?







Hello Chaps and Chapesses,

I have a client who is adding new disks to his iSeries and wants me to do 
a full back up for him prior to doing it, now he is about to order new 
tapes for this, he currently has two types;

* Imation MLR1 26GB data cartridge
* IBM MLR1 16GB  Data cartridge (32GB compressed, 16 GB uncompressed)

Which of these is the better? I have no idea about these things, or is 
there another type/size he could/should use?

TIA

Steve
