     Dear Netland,
     
     We recently backed up our 72 Gigabyte Oracle database server into an
     TZ-86 with a Compact III tape. This would suggest some whopping
     compression to fit this much capacity into what should be a maximum of
     a 20 Gigabyte cartridge. We are comfortable because we restored a
     file that was about 60 Gigabytes into the tape and it restored fine.
     
     Has anyone else seen this, or should I be concerned?
     
     Thanks in advance,
