A server has 500GB of data that must be backed up nightly. The administrator has upgraded the old LTO2 drive to an LTO3, but the data still will not fit on a single tape. Which of the following additional steps should the administrator perform to accommodate the data? (Select TWO).
A.
Enable compression on the new drive
B.
Reformat all tapes
C.
Delete unnecessary system files
D.
Purchase LTO3 tapes for use in the new drive
E.
Purchase new backup software
If the drive has already been updated to LTO3 why wouldn’t you buy LTO3 tapes at the same time? Because of that I believe answer D is incorrect.

Agreed. ‘D’ isn’t an acceptable answer to me, as common sense would dictate that you purchased the proper tapes for your drive. That said, the Ultrium/LTO standard states that tape drives are backwards compatible for two generations, e.g., an LTO3 drive would be able to read and write to both LTO1 and LTO2 tapes.
But, given common sense…’D’ doesn’t make sense.

I guess A is the correct Answer.
Because the Server have 500GB of Data.
A LTO3 Tape is limited to 400 GB Data.
The compression in optimal Case of a LTO3 Tabe can increase the space to 800GB
So also if you buy a LTO3 Tape isnt enough Space (400 GB)
LTO2 Tabe have 200GB space and with optimal compression 400GB
So only Answer A can be correct
