DLTtape VS1
Data Cartridge
The SDLT 600 tape drive is backward read compatible with DLTtape VS1
data cartridges formatted in the DLT VS 160 tape drive. Data backed up
using a DLTtape VS1 data cartridge in a DLT VS160 tape drive is
retrievable using the SDLT 600 tape drive.
By following general handling procedures, conducting careful visual
inspections of data cartridges on a regular, ongoing basis, and being
certain that you store data cartridges within their environmental limits,
you will greatly reduce any chance that you will experience problems
with your data cartridges or cause damage to your SDLT system.
Respect
your media as much as you do your data
