How to use
Handle each cartridge by its housing and avoid touching the exposed tape. Insert the cartridge into a compatible LTO drive or library slot following the drive manufacturer’s insertion procedure until the mechanism engages. Use backup software configured for LTO devices to perform reads and writes; allow the drive to complete load, verify and unload cycles after each job. Store unused cartridges in their protective cases away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to preserve data integrity.
Usage recommendations
Label cartridges clearly and maintain a rotation and testing schedule. Periodically run read-verification and migration of archived data to newer media generations before the end of the expected 30-year archival life to ensure long-term accessibility.
