Nothing, works as advertised. It's a bad habit of manufacturers of
backup hardware to advertise twice the capacity that their hardware
actually has, because they figure that users will be able to compress
their data by 50%. Your dmesg confirms this:

> da1: 1243MB (1273011 1024 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 79C)

Cheers
