Title: Message

oops ..still in hangover mode - lots of margaritas last night . it should be LTO1  instead of LTO2  :-) 

 We have 800+ LTO1 tapes here and during the migration we have researched this extensively with IBM and other vendors ...so iLTO3 drives cannot write to LTO1 .

 

sorry ..

LOL.

Come on over and watch. I'll buy the coffee.

 

:o)

 

LTO1 writes only to LTO1

LTO2 writes to LTO2 & LTO1

LTO3 writes to LTO3 & LTO2

 

In other words, any generation can write to it's own media and one previous generation

 

LTO1 reads LTO1

LTO2 reads LTO2 and LTO1

LTO3 reads LTO3, LTO2 and LTO1

 

any generation can read it's own and ANY earlier generation.
