Hi, Yes it's possible to write on cartridge one generation back, and to read two generations but it's not exactly my question.
I found this redbook, very interesting and accurate but not my answer The IBM TotalStorage Tape Libraries Guide for Open Systems SG24-5946-02 Is it possible (which constraints) to read (maybe write) with LTO2 drives, LTO2 cartridges written with LTO3 drives (using LTO2 format?) ? Thanks Christian Bagard SOS-Restore - Aix-en-Provence - France -----Original Message----- My understanding is on LTO, that they should be able to read and write down one level of LTO. This will usually entail a performance hit too, but at least it should work. As far as documentation... Sorry, I don't remember where I go it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
