The TSM Windows client doesn't have to talk to the LTO drive. When you
attempt to run a restore from a backupset accessed from a
locally-attached drive, the client talks to the LTO drive through the
OS. You need to look at the tape driver's documentation to get details
about compatibility with W2K.
