[Bacula-users] [OFF-TOPIC]: LTO-4 Backwards compatability

2008-01-31 Thread Flavio Junior
Hi folks... Someone there can help me with that doubt.. Is LTO-4 backward compatability with LTO-2 and LTO-1 ? I'm buying a LTO-4 TS3100 Library, but at this time i'm not needing all tape capacity. So, I was thinking to use it with my old LTO-2 tapes for read/write ... Is it possible ? Thanks
