DDS data cartridge compatability
A server has a HP DDS-3 tape drive configured, can a HP DDS-4 40GB tape media be used to backup data?
Regards

Normally the drive will just spit out media that it can't handle.

Re: DDS data cartridge compatability
If you look at the media packaging, htere shoul dbe a table that will show what can be used in which drives.
DDS4 media can ONLY be used in DDS or above.
DDS3 drive will accept DDS1, DDS2, or DDS3 media

Re: DDS data cartridge compatability
DDS2=120m tape will work in DDS2, 3 & 4
DDS3=125m tape will work in DDS3, 4
DDS4=150m tape will work in DDS4 only
Tapes are backwards compatible with drives not the other way around. You can of course create different block sizes from different drives, but will not always work.
