want to keep our existing netbackup environment for that long, so we
have to "convert" those tapes to networker.  Does anyone have any
pointers on how to get this done, whether it be through an outside
company or is there a way to do this through networker (something other
than restoring with netbackup and rebacking it up with networker)?

I have nothing useful to offer here.

*         I have a bunch of scratch tapes from our netbackup
environment, many have only been used once.  Can I use these tapes in
the networker environment after running a relabel job on the tape or is
there something more that needs to be done to make the tapes usable?
Both environments were using LTO3 tapes.
