another thing that can cause a local DAT to suddenly hold less is lack of tape STREAMING. Suddenly my Sony SDT-5000 quit holding as much data as it used to (only on our monthly level 0 dumps). I tried the cleaning and order of dump paths, and it took me a couple of monthly backups to realize that my mrouted running on my backup machine was keeping my tapes from being able to stream. I now kill the mrouted before I run the monthly, full backup script that executes local and remote backups to the tape, and all is well with the backups again. I don't know what cause this streaming problem to suddenly start, but that is an avenue that you may want to try in the search for your problem. --mark.
