Tape Cartridges (Media)
Tape cartridges store data. Each tape cartridge must be compatible with at least one
tape drive in the library.
Note:
LTO-5, 6, and 7 drives can read two generations back and write one
generation back. LTO-8 drives can read and write one generation back.
For best capacity and performance, always use cartridges of the same
generation as your drives.
