where you could save many libraries but I don't have that either.

Well, what kind of tape drives do you have? If you don't have an
exotic combination, maybe your BP can help you.

I keep a SLR 30/60 around just for that reason - i DUPTAP tapes from
the SLR30/60 systems to virtual tape, send them to an LTO4 system and
DUPTAP them back to real tape. This has the advantage that you can
convert MLR8/16 tapes from very old systems which couldn't save to
virtual tape even if they wanted to to new LTO4 media, from which you
can restore.
