Hi

Is this correct ?

My understanding is when LTO-2 tapes are put into a LTO3 tape drive the tap=
e
drive takes on all the attributes of an LTO2 tape drive hence transfer
rates, density, etc are identical to an LTO2 tape drive.  Hence in a librar=
y
you can have mixed LTO-3 & LTO2 tape drives and if all the media is LTO2
media then you will see no difference.   Only when you start using LTO3
media then things will get better for both backup and recovery.

Apparently LTO-3 tapes have a smart-card type of chip in them.

Regards Jim
