LTO 3 TapeLoader to a LTO 6 Tapeloader
I have an LTO 3 TapeLoader and have purchased an LTO 6 and I am trying to determine the best possible way to get the old catalogues and the old tapes to be available for the new tapeloader. I am not wanting to have to keep the LTO 3 tapeloader hooked up to my network for an extended period of time just to be able to do a restore off of an LTO 3 tape. How can I get my LTO 3 tapes and their data moved to the LTO 6 platform?

Hello, Iharris.nasa.
So, unfortunately, LTO 6 technology will not even recognize the LTO 3. The LTO 6 will read/write to an LTO 5, and read only an LTO 4. That's as far as it will go.
Now, an option you have is, to restore the LTO 3 to a hard drive, or external had drive and then back up to the LTO 6.
Not the fun answer, sir, but an honest answer.
Have a great rest of the day!
