7 Migrating LTO media Known issues for media migration from one manufacturer to another have been fixed through drive firmware. Regardless of what vendor or OEM product is being used to create media, always use the latest available firmware for the drive. This will ensure optimal performance for migrating tape between different drive vendors. Note: Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology is built on an open standard. Migrating media from one drive manufacturer to another is fully supported. Note: As of LTO-3 all LTO media is at least backward read compatible.
