Backup Exec 2010 R3
Hi. Is it possible to connect the LTO8 drive to the program Backup Exec 2010 R3?

Hard to say categorically, but very very unlikely. The newest LTO drive mentioned in the BE 2010 R3 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) is LTO6:
https://sort.veritas.com/DocPortal/pdf/BE_2010_HCLLTO8 is first mentioned in the Backup Exec 16 HCL : https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100040087
but even here every LTO8 device has a footnote indicating:
" Required support can be found in "FP2 Hotfix 128051" "Further on it mentions:
"...LTO8 and LTO7 support is very new. Please verify the LTO drives supported..."So would recommend upgrading (or realistically doing a fresh install) of the latest version of BE - currently 21.3.
On reflection I would change 'very very unlikely' to No.
