SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT TRAVAN
Tape spanning will be supported in a future release of MX-
OS. Currently if a project backup will require more space
than is available on a tape then a new tape must be used.
Currently maximum backup capacity to Travan is 10
gigabytes.
Only Travan tapes that specify 10 gigabytes uncompressed
may be used by the MX-2424.
