Hi..... I am looking for the Best Business Practice for upgrading LTO2 drives in IBM 3584 Library. We have fourteen LTO2 in the library and about thousand or so LTO2 tapes. Would it be best to upgrade the some day the LTO2 drives to LTO3 and replace the LTO2 tapes as they become bad or on a quarterly basis replace the LTO2 scratch tapes that come from off-site to LTO3 tapes?? Or is there something better??
What does others have in their future years budget plans for tape drive 3584 library L32/D32s upgrades (LTO3, LTO4, etc.)??
