Re: Request is for LTO3 but we only have LTO2

Brian,

An LTO tape drive can read 2 versions back and write one version back.

So an LTO3 tape drive can read/write to LTO2 tapes.

An LTO4 drive would be able to read LTO2 only

they wouldn't be able to use our LTO2 tapes? I'm certain the objects
will fit on one LTO tape.
