Question : Problem: Converting SDLT tape to LTO 3 tape
|
|
I'm trying to see if it is even possible to convert the data that is on a SDLT tape to a LTO 3 tape.
We are about to upgrade one of our last backup servers that are still running on SDLT tapes to a LTO 3 tape loader. We have yearly archives that are stored and I would like to try and get all past tapes that are still SDLT over to LTO 3 so I don't have to hold on to our old tape drive indefinately.
Anyone know if this is even possible, something that I can buy to do this, or services out there that will do it for me? We currently use Backup Exec but I'm sure that doesn't matter.

There are alot of services that will do it for you. I belive Iron Mountain http://www.ironmountain.com/index.asp can do it.
If you have both tape drives set up you might be able to do it with backup exec. I use brighstor so I can't test myself.
