For NetBackup, some environments freeze or suspend their media and do not allow their tapes to fill to capacity. In this situation, a IT Analytics database table can be updated to override the standard estimated capacity calculation with values for Volume Pool ID, Media Type, and Estimated Capacity. When values are supplied in this table, the NetBackup estimated capacity calculations will first determine the average size of full tapes--by tape type and volume pool. If this value is less than the value provided in the table, the value in the table will be used for the estimated capacity.

Refer to the System Administrator Guide for details.
