If you have a drive, you can use tar to read the tapes (little more work
if they are multiplexed.)
I am in the process of duplicating about 100 SDLT tapes to LTO4's. - I

Well,
netbackup is using tar to write and read to the tape. If you not use
multiplexing, and you know what is on what tape, then you can
Here when we change tape formats, we duplicate the long term retention
data to the new format. It's pretty easy with NetBackup, but I suppose
worst case scenario you would have to restore it, then back it up again.
Probably a better question than "can I restore the data?" is, once
restored, do I

Hi Mark
Thanks for this. Yes, this is one method, but what about a backup solution -
ie: now 20 years out of date, no media, no server to restore to and in a
format unknown to todays backup systems.
What would you do then? :-)
the client does not seem bothered
Hi Mark
Thanks for this. Yes, this is one method, but what about a backup
solution - ie: now 20 years out of date, no media, no server to restore
to and in a format unknown to todays backup systems.

the client does not seem bothered, and is happy to destroy the Data.
Simon,
A couple of years ago we retired DLT IV and LTO1 drives, going to a library
with LTO4 drives only.
I used bpimmedia to work out which images were on the old media then
bpduplicate to duplicate all long term retention images that were on the old
DLT IV and LTO1 media to LTO3 or LTO4 tape
