I need a solution
Looking for some opinions and advice on how companies are handling tape conversion.
We are currently running Netbackup 7.6 d2d2t with LTO6 tapes. However, we were previously using Backup Exec for many years and have tons of tapes of various generations (dds3/4, dat, dlt, sdlt, lto etc.) The Backup Exec catalog is no longer in existence, so we are looking to rebuild it, but would first like to convert and consolodate all the backup images either to disk or to lto6 tapes.
Typically how are most companies handling obsolete tape media that still needs to be retained?
