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 still have the application that reads that data? I've already run into this a few times with older Exchange and Oracle backups. It's a mess.
