True.

Exactly, unless you have one drive in the robot configured same as the
tape.

Yes....keep in mind, if your aligning HCART -> LTO1 and HCART3 ->
LTO3....the LTO3 drive can read the LTO cart, but cannot write to
it......if you leave your system configured such that an LTO3 drive and
an LTO1 cart are configured as the same type, you will get errors when
Netbackup eventually tries to put that tape in that drive to write to
it.
It would be nice to be able to define the hierarchical backward
compatibility of media/drive types......
