Where I work I have at command several Processing centers and we use 
routinely LTO-1 and LTO-2 (IBM 3584's) and some times we needed to send 
some tapes to another Center, sent, imported and restores without a 
hitch.

  But take care. An LTO-2 drive can accept to read/write LTO-1 tapes, 
but a LTO-1 drive cannot accept LTO-2 tapes.
