Re: recommend tape conversion services

Since your LTO7 can read those LTO5s I wouldn't bother with those. The media cost plus the labor will set you back and to what gain? You can already read 'em.

The 8MM and the LTO3s yes as they are older and you would be unable to read with LTO7 drive.

I can convert them for you to LTO5 or LTO6. Contact me off line if interested.

I need to convert about 37 tapes of various types and ages to LTO7.
(8mm (13), LTO3(15), LTO5(9))...
15 tapes are full system saves,
11 are *NONSYS,
11 are 2 small library saves,
so to condense the 37 down to a reasonable number could be done if allowed
to only migrate the *NONSYS libraries...

can you recommend some vendors?
about how much should I expect this to cost?
