I have a 4GB Digital DAT, the TLZ07. It gives these directions for dump
on to a 120m tape.

density=61000
feet=76586 

this is for uncompressed mode, but since freebsd doesn't support
compressed mode dump yet it is what I work with. This gives a 4GB
storage range on the DAT tape.


I hope this helps
