ERASING LTFS TAPES FOR USE IN R7.7


ShadeTek

Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried to use an LTFS tape in Retrospect 7.7? I have and it fills the tape up with about 50GB of media and then asks for a new empty tape. I am suspecting that Retrospect is filling up a small partition of the tape thinking that it is the only partition. I have tried a short and a long format in R7.7 with the same results. Seemingly bulk erasing LTO 5 tapes is a no-can-do as it erases a control track on the tape placed there at manufacture. So what I need is an app that can erases LTFS tapes back to factory ship condition. Does anyone have any further info on this?
