We are using NetBackup 3.2 on a SUN4000 (Solaris 2.6) and using two STK
9710 silos with 10 DLT 4000 each. Our plan is to upgrade the tape drives
to DLT 7000s. The questions are:

  1. Will NetBackup be able to read existing backup tapes ( the DLT IV 
      carts are used )

  2. After the upgrade will the tapes be written in DLT7000 mode or
must      the tapes be blank labeled 

  3. I have seen several different DLT7000 definitions for the st.conf
      file .... what is correct


Thanks for the help,

Paul
