We go with a standard size. Again, the 'size' is kind of different. It's
not preallocated or anything. As Jim said, it's not like appending on
physical tapes just to minimize tapes used, etc.

We started out with 800GB or the same size as our old LTO4 tapes.
Then we moved with 1.5TB since we're calling them LTO5 anyway. We delete
the 800's as they expire and recreate them as 1.5's.
There are a few we made 4TB since we were having an issue with multi
volume DUPMEDBRM.
