Thanx for the reply Phil.
Yes it should be compatible and that's what we want to confirm.

Any idea how we should do it?


Thanx,

The LTO specification calls for tapes to be write-compatible one version
back, and read-compatible two versions back.  So your new LTO4 tape
drive should be able to write LTO4 or LT03 tapes, and read LTO4, LTO3 or
LTO2 tapes.
