Networker Save and Restore tape capacity

Hi,

        I'm evaluating the full version of NSR and have a single
Exabyte 8500c (10GB capacity). In NSR the best I can select as the
media is 8mm 5GB which would be fine if I could get even close
to 5GB on a tape. NSR keeps stopping after a writing a small amount
onto the tape and then claims the tape is full and it needs a new one.
My last backup said it wrote 864MB on one client and 346MB on another
for a total of 1.2GB, far less than the 5Gb I was expecting (and this
was on a never before used tape, freshly labeled).

        So my questions;

  1) How do I get more data on a tape (ie. what have I done wrong)?

  2) Can I get this thing to recognize my 10GB tape drive?
     (BTW, I do realize that 10GB is theoretical,... 7GB is more
      realistic)

Thanks!
