We're running amanda-2.2.6 on a FreeBSD box with a C1533A attached. The
config entry we are using is:
define tapetype DAT-1533 {
comment "HP 1533 4GB RAW DDS-2 DAT drive"
length 5500 mbytes
filemark 50 kbytes
speed 600 kbytes
}
The length is probably a bit conservative given compression is on, but
I'd prefer that to the chance of running of the end of the tape. It's
enough for our use anyway. All the numbers are approximate and somewhat
made up, but they work OK for us.
