Old Tape Backup Drive Question

Hello everyone.

I have an old SCSI tape backup drive: a Conner CTMS 3200, and am using it
with QIC-W media (Sony 3080 XLF) to regularly backup my W2K boot partition
(approx. 2G of data). Works fine so far.

My question is whether there is other higher-capacity media (longer tape
maybe?) that can be used with this drive, or is the native 2G capacity a
limitation of the drive?

Many thanks in advance,

To the best of my knowledge, 2GB (4GB compressed) is the limitation of the
hardware. Have same.
