amanda can't do it automaticaly, but it is planned.

amrecover will correctly works with the new tape.

if your blocksize on tape is 32k, it is a simple as:
 cd /holding/disk/path.
 mkdir 20070101010101
 cd 20070101010101
 for all old tapes
    amrestore -r /device/name
 rm all dump that are complete.
 amflush

You should verify the result.

Hi,

we used a Tandberg Superloader DLT Autoloader for offsite backups. Now I ordered a Tandberg Storageloader LTO3. Does anybody of you see a way to get the data of the old DTL to the new LTO3 tapes? Doing a 1-to-1 copy is wasting many space and money.

My only idea is restore everything on the old tapes to a huge place and backup it to LTO agin, isn't it? But this would be to much work.
