We went from B series to E series drives. For our B series written tapes I moved the data off of them to new volumes using the E drives and then relabeled the old B series tapes to handle the new E series format. No waste.

So the question is- when you have limited budget and time (i.e. you don't want to buy 2x the drives to do a speedy move data type migration to the new drives), what are some of the best practices for upgrading drive technology, migrating data for the new tape drive/media writes, without creating havoc for day to day operations? We could just upgrade the drives and write all new data to scratch tapes- but this seems wasteful & risky All ideas, commentary, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
