Some of you probably already know my Best Practice Guide for Data Protector. I had created the document in 2013 (before I joined HP), and made it available to HP partners and some customers. The document covers all the essential aspects of a Data Protector environment. Topics such as installation, configuration and optimization are presented in very clear way, including practical tips. My colleagues now have translated the guide into English and expanded somewhat. The guide is now available to all interested readers. I look forward to suggestions and feedback to further expand this guide.

Hi Daniel,
are you sure setting OB2MACHECKCAPACITY=1 is a good idea? I\’ve never heard about it before and just tried it on a DP6.11 Linux MA. The result was *apparently* for all LTO3 tapes to be written to roughly 382GB, with approx. 17GB not used. It\’s completely unclear whether that means capacity before or after compression, but it just feels wrong. Tapes are marked FULL but are they really? What does this feature really do? If it still allows my tapes to be filled and the displayed used capacity is now the compressed one, it would be quite informative (shows you how much capacity is lost due to file marks, rewrites and such) – but how can I be sure?
Thanks,
Andre.
