A dat24 drive won't read dat72 tapes.

Hi,

The tape drive should support that media type in order to perform any operation on it.

Update us on the same and revert for any further Query
Hope this will help you


Thank you
Gauri

This is really a hardware compatibility question rather than a BE question.

A dat24 drive can not read dat72 tapes. The dat24 drive will most likely eject the dat72 tape.
