Hello folks,

 I want a solution to move backup already taken to tape autoloader LTO3 to new Autoloader LTO6

my solution is to connect the LTO3 & LTO6 Autoloader to the symantic backup exec and configure boh drives then copy from tape LTO3 to New tape LTO6 ( tape to tape backup )

is that applicable and how can i be sure that i can restore from the LTO6 media

I am using HP autoloader 1/8 G2 LTO3 and another one LTO6.

Hi,

 

You'd need to setup a duplicate job. It's going to duplicate the data from the LTO3 drive to the LTO6 drive.

You'd need to test restores from the LTO6 library in order to be sure the data has been duplicated successfully, but also check the job log around this.

Check the TN below on how to configure a duplicate job in BE 2010.

And before using the new drive, do check the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) to ensure the drive is supported.
