How do I move from DLT8000 to LTO-2?

[mcse924]

Our DLT solution has grown long in the tooth. We need better performance and capacity.

The debate is what do we do with our 7 years worth of DLT archives? I'm sure lots of YOU out there have faced this dilemma, when and how to move to a newer/better technology while still needing to access that "old" data relatively quickly.

I'm all ears to any suggestions and success stories!!!

Carpe diem, procrastination is the thief of time...

Storagetek makes a number of libraries that can have both DLT and LTO drives installed and can hold mixed media pools
